Abstract

A system and method for increasing the speed of measurements in an instrument, such as a high speed oscilloscope. Measurement speed is increased by provide a dedicated co-processor, such as a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) 38, to handle measurement algorithms. As a result the host processor (CPU) 36, which takes care of the user interface 37, does not have to treat large amounts of raw measurement data and only needs to display the results of calculations performed by the co-processor. Raw data is also only transferred over a wider data bus.
