Definitions

  • the invention relates to a measuring device for displaying a plurality of time-varying electrical signals.
  • a disadvantage of known multichannel oscilloscopes is that due to the large number of measurement signals displayed on the screen, the overall presentation for the user appears confusing or not very user-friendly.
  • European Patent EP 0 284 692 B1 discloses an oscilloscope which makes it possible to select a curve from a multiplicity of illustrated waveforms by means of a touch screen, these waveforms being retrieved from a waveform memory.
  • the touch screen includes a plurality of rows of light sources and light sensors distributed over the edge of the touch screen to provide input data to the oscilloscope relating to a screen position touched by a finger of an operator.
  • the invention is based on the object to provide a measuring device which has a user-friendly and clear screen area.
  • the measuring device comprises for displaying a plurality of time-variable electrical signals a front panel with different controls, such as control buttons, rotary switches and the like.
  • a screen area is provided with a monitor, wherein on this monitor several display areas are arranged.
  • the first display area has one or more windows, each window corresponding to a measurement channel.
  • the measured time-varying electrical signals are displayed in reduced size, which can be switched on the second display area, which can also be referred to as the main screen in an enlarged view. Following the enlarged display on the main screen or the second
  • a status field is displayed in the respective window of the first display area.
  • the time-varying displayed in both display areas electrical signals are displayed in real time, so that the user also on the windows of the first display area has a preview with respect to the signal displayed therein and a significant change of this signal, the signal of interest can zoom in on the enlarged display on the second display area.
  • the measuring device according to the invention can have a contact screen. This will be the
  • Ease of use increases as the user activates or deactivates the various display areas by touching the touch screen, triggering a toggle function on the selected signal in relation to its presentation.
  • the controls may contain push buttons, the z. B. are arranged below the screen area.
  • This arrangement is also very user-friendly, since the functionality of the respective push button refers to the window of the first display area, which is displayed immediately above the push button. This makes it easy for the user to see which signal he chooses an enlarged representation by pressing the push button.
  • a mouse function with an on-screen movable mouse pointer is provided as a control element.
  • a signal which is currently displayed in the second display area can be easily selected and marked.
  • the contact screen in addition to the controls push buttons or mouse function is provided so that the signals, in particular the signals shown in the second display area can also be selected and marked with the touch screen function.
