As shown in FIG. 2, basic information such as date and time, screen type, and status message is displayed at the top of the screen. Further, a plurality of windows are provided on the screen, the types of windows that can be displayed on the screen are displayed in a list on the window list bar 20, and the active window is shown. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the measurement result window 21 and the setting window 22
Is displayed, indicating that the setting window 22 is active (“Parameter” corresponding to the setting window 22 of the window list bar 20 is highlighted, for example).

The measurement result window 21 displays a list of measurement results measured by the measurement unit 12 for each of a plurality of measurement items. The setting window 22 also displays items for inputting various parameters used when performing measurement by the measurement unit 12. When the contents of all the items cannot be displayed in one screen, each window can be scrolled for each window in accordance with an operation such as a cursor key.

A plurality of display items are displayed as tags 23 in each window (measurement result window 21, setting window 22). In the function menu 24, menu items corresponding to the tags 23 provided in the active window are set.
When the menu item in which "TAG" is displayed is selected in the function menu 24, the screen is updated (scrolled) so that the tag (display item) corresponding to this menu item is at the beginning position in the window. The function indicated by this menu item, such as waveform display, can be executed.

Next, the operation of rearranging the arrangement order of the display items of the electronic measuring apparatus according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The screen management unit 10a displays the function menu 24 on the screen so that an instruction to execute a process regarding an active window can be input. The function menu 24 includes a menu item ("Arrangement of Item") 24a for executing a process of rearranging the arrangement order of a plurality of items set in the active window.
Is provided. It is assumed that the menu item 24a is provided in the function menu 24 corresponding to any window.

When the user presses the function key corresponding to the menu item 24a, the control unit 1
0, through the panel unit 14 and the input control unit 16,
It determines that execution of the rearrangement of the arrangement order of the display items is instructed, and activates the item rearrangement unit 10b.

The item rearranging unit 10b reads the display item data 13c regarding the display item of the currently active window from the storage unit 13 and stores it as the display item rearranging work data 13d (step A).
0). Then, the item rearranging unit 10b receives the item rearrangement operation for displaying the item arrangement setting window 3
0 is pop-up displayed on the screen of the display device 19 and the list of display items stored as the display item rearrangement work data 13d is displayed according to the current arrangement order (step A1). In the initial state in which the item array setting window 30 is displayed, the cursor is set to the first item.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a state in which the item arrangement setting window 30 is pop-up displayed. The item array setting window 30 includes a plurality of items (“Power Measurement”, “Frequency Error”, “Occu”) provided in the currently active measurement result window 21.
pied Bandwidth "...) is displayed according to the current arrangement order. (Note that the menu item ("Arrangement of Ier
m ”) 24a is not included, but the menu item 24a is provided on the page of another function menu 24). Also, the item array setting window 3
0 indicates "S" for instructing the completion of the item rearranging operation.
“Et” button, “Cancel” button for canceling the previous setting and instructing to return to the arrangement order when the item arrangement setting window 30 is opened, and changing the arrangement order of items in a preset initial state To instruct "Defa
"ult" button is provided.

At this time, the display item rearrangement work data 13
As d, as shown in FIG. 5A1, each display item provided in the measurement result window 21 and its arrangement order are registered. Also, the item arrangement setting window 3 corresponding to the display item rearrangement work data 13d shown in FIG.
The display state of 0 is shown in FIG.

Here, when an instruction to move the cursor set in the item arrangement setting window 30 is input (step A3), that is, the cursor key provided on the panel unit 14 is pressed or the encoder is turned. In this case, the item rearrangement unit 10b is the input control unit 1
The cursor in the item arrangement setting window 30 is moved on the display item according to the operation content input through 6 (step A4).

For example, when an operation of rotating the encoder provided in the panel unit 14 to the right is performed, the second, third,
Move the cursor to item No. 4 ... In the last display item (Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 (a)), the 9th "Block Error Rat" is displayed.
When the encoder is further rotated to the right with the cursor on "e"), the cursor is sequentially moved to the "Set" button, the "Cancel" button, and the "Default" button. Further, when the encoder is rotated right, the cursor is moved to the first item. It should be noted that when the encoder is rotated counterclockwise, the cursor is moved in the reverse order of the case where the encoder is rotated clockwise.

When the cursor is moved to the display item to be rearranged and the encoder is pressed (step A
5), the item rearrangement unit 10b sets the display item at the cursor position as the rearrangement target display item data 13e as the rearrangement target display item, and sets the cursor display color of the display item to the moving cursor. (Step A6). For example, when the cursor is displayed in black in the initial state, a different color (red or the like) is set.

If the cursor movement is instructed by operating the cursor key or the encoder (step A7), the item rearranging unit 10b causes the input control unit 16 to operate.
According to the operation content input through, the rearrangement target display items are moved together with the movement cursor to rearrange the display order of the display target items in the item array, and the display item rearrangement work data 13d is updated (step A
8).

For example, when there is an instruction to move the moving cursor downward, the next display item in the moving direction of the cursor is changed to the current moving cursor position and the display item to be rearranged together with the moving cursor. To the position of the next display item (the display item to be rearranged and the position of the next display item in the moving direction are exchanged). This operation is sequentially performed according to the cursor movement instruction.

In the example shown in FIG. 6A, when the second display item "Frequency Error" is set as the rearrangement target display item and the moving cursor is moved downward by three steps, As shown in (b), the display order is changed by moving the positions of the display items to be rearranged in response to an instruction to move the cursor.

In this way, the arrangement order of the arbitrarily selected display items can be arbitrarily specified among the plurality of display items displayed in the item arrangement setting window 30.
FIG. 5 (a2) shows the state of the display item rearrangement work data 13d in the display state of FIG. 6 (b).

Thus, when the rearrangement display target items are moved in any desired order and the determination instruction is input by pressing the encoder (step A9), the item rearrangement unit 10b releases the movement cursor. Then, the cursor is returned to the original cursor (for example, black) (step A10). For example, in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6B, when the position of the rearrangement target display item is changed and a determination instruction is given, as shown in FIG.
The changed array order is displayed as a list of items. Hereinafter, similarly, by selecting an arbitrary display item as a rearrangement target and changing the order of this display item, the arrangement order of a plurality of display items can be arbitrarily changed (steps A3 to A9). ).

After the arrangement order is changed in this way, "S
When the "et" button is selected (step A2), the item sorting unit 10b causes the display item sorting work data 13d to be displayed.
The display item data 13c is updated according to the rearranged display order stored as (step A11). Then, the item array item array setting window 30 is closed (step A12).

The screen management section 10a includes an item rearranging section 10
Regarding the window whose arrangement order of the display items is changed by b, the order of the display items (tags 23) displayed in the window is changed and displayed (step A1).
3). Further, the function menu data 13b is updated in accordance with the change in the arrangement of the display items in this window, and the order of the menu items in the function menu is also changed.

For example, in the measurement result window 21 in FIG. 4, the item "Frequency Error" is set second, but this display item is arranged in the fifth order using the item array item array setting window 30. Since the display order of the display items from No. 3 to No. 5 is changed to No. 2 to No. 4 by the change, the display item (tag 23) in the measurement result window 21 is according to this display order. Change the order of and display the measurement results.

In this way, by arbitrarily changing the arrangement order of the items using the item arrangement item arrangement setting window 30, the order of the display items provided in the window is changed and the contents corresponding to the respective items are displayed. Can be displayed.
Therefore, the contents of each item can be displayed in the window in an order according to the user's preference. For example, in the measurement result window 21, the user can give priority to the display order of the measurement items to be displayed. The measurement result for the display item can be confirmed preferentially in the measurement result window 21. Therefore, the measurement result window 21
It is no longer necessary to perform the complicated work of successively displaying the desired display item while repeating the operation of scrolling the display contents of.
