Object data B is generated based on the measurement and analysis results of the input data from 2 by 10 kHz FFT, and is displayed on the display device 12 as object A and object B, respectively. The object data A and object data B generated here are, for example, graph data generated based on the measurement and analysis results as shown in FIG. Other examples of the object data include list data that lists numerical values, characters, and the like made up of text data.

  Further, the object generation / management unit 33, as data for configuring object data (hereinafter referred to as configuration data), for example, when the object data is graph data, each value on the horizontal axis of the graph (for example, Data necessary and sufficient to generate the graph portion, such as data of each value of the frequency) and each value of the corresponding vertical axis (for example, each value indicating the intensity of sound), is retained. The configuration data of each object data held in this way is copied to the configuration data of the object data as the copy destination when the operator performs a copy operation between the object data. Added. That is, the configuration data held for the copy source object data is as it is, and for the copy destination object data, the original configuration data of the copy destination object data and the configuration data of the copy source object data are the same. It is held as new configuration data. In this way, when data is added to the configuration data for certain object data, the object generation / management unit 33 updates the object data to be displayed in consideration of the added data.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the object generation / management unit 33 in detail. As shown in FIG. 4, the object generation / management unit 33 includes an object data generation / update unit 331, a display control unit 332, a data holding unit 333, an object data determination unit 334, and a copy unit 335.

  The object data generation / update unit 331 refers to the setting information-object association unit 34, generates corresponding object data based on each measurement or analysis result by the measurement / analysis unit 32, and configuration data of the generated object data Is held in the data holding unit 333. Further, when the configuration data held in the data holding unit 333 is added by copying the configuration data of other object data, the corresponding object data is updated based on the configuration data to which the data has been added.

  The display control unit 332 displays the object data generated or updated by the object data generation / update unit 331 on the display device 12.

  The object data determination unit 334 determines the copy source object data and the copy destination object data from the pointer operation on the display device 12 by the operator's input device 11. The pointer operation by the operator and the object data determination process will be described in detail later.

  The copy unit 335 copies the configuration data of the copy source object data determined by the object data determination unit 334 to the configuration data of the copy destination object data, and the updated configuration data of the copy destination object data is the data holding unit. 333. The data holding unit 333 holds configuration data for each object data.

  Next, the operation of the PC 1 will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The processing shown in FIG. 5 is started when an object display instruction is given by an operation of the operator.

  First, the measurement / analysis unit 32 acquires setting information corresponding to the display instruction from the setting unit 31 (step S501), and executes measurement and analysis processing of input data of each channel based on the acquired setting information ( Step S502). For example, ch. 1 with 10 kHz FFT, analysis results and ch. 2, when the measurement and analysis result by 10 kHz FFT is instructed as a display target, the measurement / analysis unit 32 performs ch. 1, 10 kHz FFT setting information, ch. 2 of 10 kHz FFT setting information is acquired, and each measurement and analysis process is executed based on the acquired setting information. In the following, ch. 1 with 10 kHz FFT, analysis results and ch. The case where the measurement and analysis result of 2 of 10 kHz FFT is instructed as a display target will be described.

  Subsequently, the object generation / update unit 331 refers to the correspondence relationship between the setting information and the object from the setting information-object association unit 34 and generates object data based on the measurement and analysis results corresponding to each setting information. (Step S503). Here, ch. 1 of 10 kHz FFT setting information and object A are associated with each other, ch. It is assumed that the setting information of 2 of 10 kHz FFT and the object B are associated with each other. Therefore, the object generation / update unit 331 uses the ch. 1 object data A based on the measurement and analysis results by 10 kHz FFT, ch. The object data B is generated on the basis of the measurement and analysis results of 2 of 10 kHz FFT. Both object data A and object data B are data of objects displayed in a graph.

  The configuration data of the object data A and object data B generated by the object generation / update unit 331 is held for each object data by the data holding unit 333 (step S504).

  Subsequently, when there is a copy instruction by an operation of the input device 11 by the operator, the copy instruction is detected, and the object data determination unit 334 determines the copy source object data and the copy destination object data (step S505). / YES). Here, it is assumed that the object B is designated as the copy source object and the object A is designated as the copy destination object by the operator's operation on the display device 12. Accordingly, the object data determination unit 334 determines object data B as copy source object data, and determines object data A as copy destination object data. If the copy instruction is not detected (step S505 / NO), the current display state on the display device 12 (here, the display state of the objects A and B) is maintained.

  Subsequently, the copy unit 335 copies the configuration data of the copy source object data B determined by the object data determination unit 334 to the configuration data of the copy destination object data A (step S506). That is, the configuration data of the copy source object data B is held in the data holding unit 333 with the configuration data of the copy destination object data A intact and the configuration data of the object data B added to the original configuration data. Will be.

  Subsequently, the object data generation / update unit 331 newly generates object data A based on the configuration data of the copy destination object data A updated as described above (step S507). The newly generated object data A is displayed on the display device 12 under the control of the display control unit 332.

  Subsequently, when the operator gives an erasure instruction to the objects (here, object A and object B) displayed on the display device 12 (step S508 / YES), the erasure unit (not shown) An erasure process is performed. As a result, when all the objects on the display device 12 have been deleted (step S510 / YES), the processing of the flowchart shown in FIG. If there is no erasing instruction from the operator (step S508 / NO), the current display state (here, the state in which object B and updated object A are displayed) is maintained. In addition, when there is an object that is still displayed on the display device 12 after the deletion instruction (step S510 / NO), the display state after the deletion process (for example, the object B or the updated object) A state in which A is displayed) is maintained.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a copy instruction operation by the operator's input device 11 and a display operation on the display device 12 associated therewith. FIG. 6A shows the object A and the object B on the display device 12 before the operator gives a copy instruction. The operator operates the mouse as the input device 11 to select the legend information 602 of the object B with the pointer 601 on the display device 12, and displays the virtual display information 604 of the legend information 602 on the object A by drag and drop operation. The region is moved to or near the region ((b) of FIG. 6). Upon receiving this operation input, the object data determination unit 334 detects a copy operation, and determines that the copy source object is the object B and the copy destination object is the object A.

  When the object data determination unit 334 detects the copy operation and determines the copy source and copy destination objects, the copy unit 335 copies the configuration data of the object data B to the configuration data of the object A. Subsequently, the object data generation / update unit 331 updates the object data A based on the configuration data of the new object data A to which the configuration data of the object data B is added, and the updated object data A is displayed on the display device 12. ((C) of FIG. 6). Here, the object data A in a state where the graph of the object B is copied to the graph of the object A is generated, and based on this, the new object A displayed by superimposing the graph of the object A and the graph of the object B is illustrated. is doing. Also, legend information 602 of object B is displayed in the vicinity of legend information 603 of object A, indicating that object B has been copied to object A.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the configuration data of the copy source object data B is copied to the configuration data of the copy destination object data A, and the graph of the object data B is based on the configuration data updated by the copy. Since the new object data A is generated by combining the data and the graph data of the original object data A, unnecessary information in the object data B is not displayed in the new object data A, and is combined. The visibility of the displayed object A can be ensured.

  In the present embodiment, since the copy instruction between the object data can be performed by the pointer operation on the legend information, the operability at the time of the copy instruction can be improved. For example, in a situation where a copy process between a plurality of object data has already been performed, a certain graph is specified from objects having a plurality of graphs, and the graph is copied to another object, Considering an operation method in which a target graph is directly specified from a graph with a pointer, a detailed operation is required, which is inconvenient and error-prone. Therefore, with the method of specifying the legend information provided outside the graph display area with a pointer as in the present embodiment, it is possible to easily specify the graph of the object to be copied with the pointer, improving operability. It becomes possible to do.

  In the above example, the graph of the object B is simply copied to the graph of the object A. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the copy destination graph and the copy source graph may be distinguished by color coding. In the present invention, various object data A can be generated in accordance with the update of the configuration data of the object A. For example, the average value of the value of the graph of the object A and the value of the graph of the object B may be calculated, and a graph indicating the average of the graph of the object A and the graph of the object B may be displayed as the new object A. It is also possible to subtract, divide or multiply the value of the graph of the object B with respect to the value of the graph of the object A, and generate and display new object data based on the subtraction, division or multiplication.

  In the above description, the copy operation between the two objects A and B has been described. However, in the present invention, a copy operation between a larger number of objects is also possible. For example, in addition to object B, object C, object D,... Can be copied to object A, and the number of copy source objects is arbitrary. Further, the copy source object and the copy destination object are not fixed, and any object can be the copy source object and the copy destination object.

  When a plurality of objects are copied for a certain object, the graph or the like may be color-coded according to the copy order. For example, when copy processing is performed on the copy destination object A in the order of object B and object C, the graph of object B copied first is red, and the graph of object C copied second Can be displayed in blue or the like. In this way, the operator can identify the order in which the copy operation is performed by the color of the graph or the like even after the graphs are combined.

  The preferred embodiment to which the present invention is applied has been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. is there.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the wind noise of an automobile or the like is shown as an example of the acoustic data among the analog data measured by the measuring instrument 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, roads, railways, improvements, etc. Noise, noise from construction equipment, reverberation in indoor spaces such as automobiles, noise from office automation equipment such as PCs, printers, fax machines and copiers, noise from home appliances such as air conditioners, washing machines and refrigerators is there.

  Similarly, in the above-described embodiment, the vibration of an engine such as an automobile is shown as an example of vibration in the analog data measured by the measuring instrument 2, but is not limited to this, for example, a motor other than the engine, Various types of vibrations such as turbines, pumps and other rotating bodies (rotary machines) (for example, torsional vibrations), gear vibrations in transmissions of automobiles, knocking vibrations in engines, OA equipment vibrations, household appliances vibrations, etc. There is something.
