Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for controlling setting conditions for processing on a measuring device, and more particularly, to a method for automatically setting each different setting condition for a measuring device via an external memory. The present invention relates to a setting condition control method for processing to a measuring device that enables setting.

2. Description of the Related Art Some measuring devices such as a recorder and a waveform analyzer use an external memory which is detachably mounted on a main body of the device.

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, 1 is stored in this external memory.
In some cases, setting conditions (“STARTUP” in the figure) for executing the specific processing of only the type are stored, and through the external memory 52, the specific processing is performed on the apparatus main body 51 when the power is turned on. Corresponding setting conditions can be automatically set.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, the apparatus main body can be formed by a conventional method.
The setting conditions can be automatically read out from the external memory 52 with respect to 51, so that even an operator who is not familiar with the operation of the recording device can perform specific processing such as storage as far as the setting conditions are concerned. Has become.

However, when using the external memory 52 storing only the setting conditions for executing one type of specific processing, it is not possible to cope with the case where it is necessary to execute a plurality of types of specific processing. However, there is a problem that the setting conditions have to be changed by manual operation, and there is no other method than remote control of the setting conditions via an external controller, which makes the operation difficult for an inexperienced operator. It was still left.

On the other hand, it is conceivable to store different setting conditions in an external memory prepared separately, and to use the different setting conditions as needed. , Its organization
Problems such as difficulty in storage were left.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems encountered in the conventional technique, and has as its object to store in advance an individual setting condition corresponding to a plurality of specific processes in one external memory. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for controlling setting conditions for processing on a measuring device, which allows an inexperienced operator to easily operate without setting setting conditions individually.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object, and the feature of the configuration is that it can be attached to and detached from an apparatus main body, and at least setting conditions for specific processing are stored. The measuring device is controlled so that these setting conditions can be automatically set through an external memory that has been set. Each of the different setting conditions set for the measuring device has the same identification. An identification number specified in the order of numbers from 0 to 9 under the name, and one type for specifying an operation process specified by a two-character European character prepared in advance for each of these identification numbers A file having the above command name is registered in the external memory in advance, a file is specified from the external memory by the identification name, and the file is sequentially read in the order of the identification number. It is therefore possible to execute a plurality of types of operation processing corresponding to the set conditions.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an outline of the configuration of an apparatus to which the present invention is applied. In the apparatus main body 1, a CPU 2 having a ROM 3 and a RAM 4 is arranged. This makes it possible to control writing and reading of various data such as programs to the external memory 11 such as a memory card. On the input side of the CPU 2 with the input port 5 interposed, there are provided A / D conversion means 6 for converting input data and the like, and various switches arranged corresponding to different functions. The operation means 7 is provided on the output side of the CPU 2 with the output port 8 interposed therebetween. At least a display means 9 such as a CRT, an LED, and an LCD, and a recording means 10 such as a printer are arranged.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a specific format example of a file name when setting conditions are stored in the external memory 11 used in the method of the present invention.
It is registered with a keyword as the identification name 13 displayed as “STARTUP”. In addition, this identification name 13
Are assigned in advance the identification numbers (program numbers) 14 in the order of numbers “0” to “9”. In addition, a plurality of such prepared files 12
In each of the above, one or more command names 15 for specifying an operation process that sets a two-character European character set can be set, and an identification name 13 located at the head, an identification number 14 following the , And an appropriate capacity such as a capacity of 20 characters in total with the subsequent command name 15 (for 12 characters).

Thus, some specific examples of the command name 15 are shown as follows according to the illustrated example.

That is, For example, instructions of various contents are prepared. Of course, these command names 15 are shown as an example,
It is not particularly limited to these. Of the command names 15 described above, for the jump instruction, for example, in the case of the command name “J1”, the identification number 14 indicated at the jump destination
The instruction indicates that the file 12 having the smallest number among the numbers (here, “1”) is searched. further,
The command name (blank) indicating the end of the instruction indicates an instruction to find the file 12 with the smallest number among the numbers larger than the identification number (program number) 14 at that time.

FIGS. 3A to 3C are explanatory diagrams for further clarifying the contents of the file 12 in relation to the format shown in FIG. Of these, in the case of (a), the identification number 14 is the file 12 having a value of “0”, and the start condition is executed after the setting conditions of the file 12 are read.

In the case of (b), the file 12 having the identification number 14 of “1” is used to execute the print processing after reading the setting conditions of the file 12.

(C) is the file 12 whose identification number 14 is “2”,
After the setting conditions are read from the file 12, the start process and the list process are executed, and the process jumps to the file 12 whose identification number 14 is "0".

As a result, the processing with the identification number 14 of “0” to “2” can be repeatedly executed.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing procedure according to the method of the present invention realized by mounting the external memory 11 in which the file 12 as illustrated in FIG. 2 or FIG. is there.

That is, by turning on the power to the apparatus main body 1 and starting it up, first, the external memory 11 such as a memory card is started.
It is determined whether or not is mounted on the apparatus main body 1. If the external memory 11 does not exist, the operation immediately proceeds to the normal operation.If the external memory 11 exists, it is determined whether or not the file 12 having the identification name 13 of “STARTUP” is registered in the external memory 11. Is done. If there is no file 12 whose identification name 13 is “STARTUP” in the external memory 11, the normal operation starts immediately while “STARTUP” is stored in the identification name 13.
Is determined, it is determined in the next step whether or not an identification number (program number) 14 is assigned to this file 12.

In this step, when it is determined that the identification number 14 is not added to the file 12 whose identification name 13 is “STARTUP”, the identification name 13 is “STARTUP” without the identification number as in the related art. A certain file 12 is read by the CPU 2, predetermined setting conditions are automatically set, and normal operation starts.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the file 12 having “STARTUP” as the identification name 13 has the identification number 14, the file 12 with the smallest number among the identification numbers 14 is determined in the next processing step. The setting conditions corresponding to the contents searched and read from the searched file 12 are automatically set.

After the setting conditions are automatically set in this way,
In the next command name determination step, the command names 15 of the file 12 are checked, and the processing corresponding to each command name 15 is performed sequentially.

That is, if the command name 15 is a “start command”, the execution of the start process is performed. If the command name is “print command”, the execution of the print process is performed. If the “list command” is performed, the execution of the list process is performed. , The execution of the other processes is performed sequentially.

On the other hand, if the command name 15 is a “jump command”, the file with the smallest number among the numbers greater than or equal to the number indicated by the specified identification number 14, that is, the specified identification number 14 is “1” Then, the file 12 having the smallest identification number 14 among the identification numbers 14 including “1” is searched. At this time, if there is no file 12 that satisfies such a condition, the process of setting “STARTUP” to the identification name 13 ends,
Transition to normal operation. If there is a corresponding file 12, the file 12 is read out, and thereafter, the above-described series of processing is repeatedly performed.

If the command name 15 is “command end”, the file 12 having the smallest number among the numbers larger than the current identification number 14 is searched, and as long as the file 12 that satisfies this condition exists, it is read out. Thereafter, the above-described series of processing is repeatedly performed. If such a file 12 does not exist, the processing of the file 12 whose identification name 13 is set to “STARTUP” is ended, and the operation shifts to a normal operation.

In the method of the present invention, the presence or absence of the external memory 11 is always checked at each stage during the processing, and the external memory 11 is checked.
Is removed from the main unit 1, "STARTUP"
Is set to the identification name 13.

Since the present invention is configured as described above,
After turning on the power to the apparatus main body 1 and starting it up, the external memory 11 in which a plurality of files 12 specified by the identification number 14 are registered under the common identification name 13 is immediately set. Conditions are automatically set, and predetermined operation processing can be executed individually.

Therefore, even if the operator is not familiar with the apparatus, the apparatus main body 1 can be operated under the setting conditions according to the plurality of types of files 12 registered in one external memory 11.
The above operation processing can be executed. Moreover, two or more operation processes in this case can be repeatedly executed at high speed without remote control by an external controller.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, under the same identification name, an identification number specified in the order of numbers from 0 to 9,
One for specifying an operation process specified by a two-character European character prepared in advance for each of these identification numbers.
By using an external memory in which a file consisting of more than one type of command name is registered, it is possible to automatically set and control the setting conditions individually for the device itself. Even if it is, it is possible to cause the apparatus main body to execute two or more operation processes under setting conditions according to the plurality of types of files registered in the external memory. In addition, two or more operation processes in this case can be repeatedly executed at a high speed, and workability can be improved.
