Hereinafter, embodiments of the waveform display device and the waveform display program will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The measurement system 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes a measurement device 1 and a waveform display device 2, and is configured to be capable of performing measurement processing on a measurement target and display processing of a signal waveform based on the measurement result.

The measuring device 1 measures a predetermined measured amount (for example, an electrical parameter such as a current value, a voltage value, a resistance value, and a phase of an input signal) and measures the measured value data Dw (“waveform data”). It is configured so that the measurement process for generating (one example) is executed and the generated measurement value data Dw can be transmitted to the waveform display device 2. In this case, the measuring device 1 of this example includes, as an example, a communication unit composed of a communication adapter capable of wireless communication conforming to a short-range wireless communication standard such as a Bluetooth (Bluetooth: registered trademark) standard, and various controls are provided. It is configured so that signals and measured value data Dw can be transmitted and received by wireless communication.

The waveform display device 2 corresponds to a "waveform display device", and as an example, is composed of a tablet terminal, a smartphone, a personal computer, or the like in which program data Dp corresponding to the "waveform display program" is installed. Specifically, the waveform display device 2 includes a communication unit 11, an operation unit 12, a display unit 13, a processing unit 14, and a storage unit 15. In this example, the waveform display device 2 is described as being configured on the tablet terminal as an example, but it is easy to understand the configuration of the “waveform display device” and the processing procedure of the “waveform display program”. Therefore, the illustration and description of the components other than the above-mentioned components 11 to 15 in the tablet terminal will be omitted.

The communication unit 11 is composed of a communication adapter capable of wireless communication according to a short-range wireless communication standard such as Bluetooth, similarly to the communication unit of the measuring device 1 described above. As will be described later, the communication unit 11 transmits and receives various data to and from various wireless communication devices such as the measuring device 1 under the control of the processing unit 14. The operation unit 12 includes a touch panel, which is an example of a "pointing device capable of performing a position designation operation for designating an arbitrary position on the waveform display screen", and various operation switches such as a power switch and a volume switch, and can be used for operations on these. The corresponding operation signal is output to the processing unit 14. As will be described later, the display unit 13 displays various displays such as a display condition setting screen 20 (see FIG. 2) and a waveform display screen 30 (an example of a “waveform display screen”: see FIGS. 4 to 15) under the control of the processing unit 14. Display the screen.

The processing unit 14 is an example of the “processing unit” and comprehensively controls the waveform display device 2. Specifically, the processing unit 14 controls the measuring device 1 via the communication unit 11 to execute the measurement process according to the program data Dp, and the measured value data Dw transmitted from the measuring device 1 is the communication unit 11. When received by, the measured value data Dw is stored in the storage unit 15. Further, the processing unit 14 displays the display condition setting screen 20 shown in FIG. 2 on the display unit 13 according to the program data Dp, and as will be described later, the cursor displays 31, 31a (FIGS. 4 to 4) in the waveform display screen 30. Refer to 15) to set the conditions for displaying. In this example, the cursor displays 31 and 31a correspond to the "cursor display".

Further, the processing unit 14 causes the display unit 13 to display the waveform display screen 30 as shown in FIGS. 4 to 15 according to the program data Dp, and the signal waveforms W1 to W6 based on the measured value data Dw (hereinafter, these are not distinguished). Sometimes referred to as "signal waveform W") or cursor displays 31, 31a for designating an arbitrary point on the signal waveform W are displayed in the waveform display screen 30. In this example, each of the above signal waveforms W corresponds to a “signal waveform”. The storage unit 15 stores a system program for operating the waveform display device 2 as a tablet terminal, program data Dp corresponding to the “waveform display program”, measurement value data Dw transmitted from the measurement device 1, and the like.

Next, the display processing of the signal waveform W by the measurement system 100 (waveform display device 2: program data Dp) will be described with reference to the attached drawings. It is assumed that the installation of the program data Dp on the waveform display device 2 and the pairing of the bluetooth between the communication unit of the measuring device 1 and the communication unit 11 of the waveform display device 2 have already been completed.

First, the operation unit 12 of the waveform display device 2 is operated to activate the program data Dp. Next, a measurement condition setting screen (not shown) is displayed on the display unit 13 to set the conditions for the measurement process to be executed by the measuring device 1, and the display condition setting screen 20 shown in FIG. 2 is displayed to display the waveform display screen described later. The conditions for displaying the cursor display 31 in 30 are set.

In this case, in the waveform display device 2 (program data Dp) of this example, as will be described later, “position designation operation” by the operation unit 12 (touch panel) while the signal waveform W is displayed in the waveform display screen 30. Is performed, a predetermined "search range" based on the position specified by the "position specification operation" is specified, and a "singular point satisfying the predetermined condition" is set in the signal waveform W. A configuration / method is adopted in which the cursor display 31 (or the cursor display 31a) is displayed at the "predetermined display position" based on the position of the singular point when it exists in the "search range".

Further, in the waveform display device 2 (program data Dp) of this example, as the above-mentioned "singular point satisfying the predetermined condition", as in the example of the display condition setting screen 20 shown in FIG. 2, "maximum value: "Maximum value position in the search range", "Minimum value: Minimum value position in the search range", "Zero cross: Position where the signal waveform is zero crossed in the search range", "Rise: Signal waveform in the search range" "Rising position", "Descent: Position where the signal waveform is falling within the search range", "Change point / noise: Position where the signal waveform is rapidly changing", and "Waveform intersection: 2" Multiple types of "condition candidates" such as "positions where two signal waveforms intersect" are prepared, and among these "condition candidates", the conditions specified as "singular points that satisfy the predetermined conditions" It is configured so that candidates can be selected arbitrarily. In the figure, the state in which the three conditions of "zero cross", "change point / noise", and "waveform intersection" are set as "singular points satisfying predetermined conditions" is illustrated. (An example of the configuration that "a plurality of condition candidates for the conditions specified as predetermined conditions can be selected").

Further, in the waveform display device 2 (program data Dp) of this example, when there are a plurality of selected "condition candidates", a plurality of different priorities are set by setting the priority of the conditions of each "condition candidate". When there are multiple types of "singular points" that satisfy the "condition candidate" condition in the "search range", the condition of the "condition candidate" for which the highest priority is set is set to "predetermined condition". The configuration to process as "is adopted. Note that FIG. 2 illustrates a state in which priorities are set in the order of “change point / noise”, “zero cross”, and “waveform intersection”.

Further, in the waveform display device 2 (program data Dp) of this example, as the above-mentioned "position designation operation", not only the designation of an arbitrary point by the tap operation (touch operation) on the operation unit 12 (touch panel) but also the drag operation is performed. It is possible to specify any one point by.

In this case, it is not easy to perform a highly accurate position designation operation by a pointing device such as a touch panel. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, when trying to perform a tap operation for designating the position P0, the finger may touch the position P1 away from the position P0. In this case, by setting in advance that "the position of the end point of the drag operation is set to the [designated position]", the finger is slid on the touch panel from the position P1 in the direction of the arrow A (drag operation). Execution), the position P2 very close to the position P0 can be specified by releasing the finger from the touch panel at the position P2 sufficiently close to the position P0.

Further, for example, when a tap operation for designating the position P0 is performed, the finger touches the position P2 very close to the position P0, but the finger touches the arrow on the touch panel before the finger is released from the touch panel. The finger may move away from the touch panel at position P3 due to sliding in the direction of B (execution of the drag operation). In this case, by setting in advance that "the position of the start point of the drag operation is set to the [designated position]", the finger slides in the direction of the arrow B from the position P2 to the position P3 on the touch panel. Even so, the position P2 very close to the position P0 can be specified.

Therefore, it is selected whether to set the start point or the end point of the drag operation as the "designated position" according to the preference of the user and the tendency of the operation. Note that FIG. 2 illustrates a state in which the “end point of the drag operation” is set to the “designated position”.

Next, the measuring device 1 is connected to the measurement target, and the operation unit 12 of the waveform display device 2 is operated to display a measurement processing screen (not shown) on the display unit 13 to start the measurement processing by the measuring device 1. .. At this time, the processing unit 14 causes the communication unit 11 to transmit a control signal instructing the start of measurement to the measuring device 1, and in response to this, the measuring device 1 executes the measurement process to generate the measured value data Dw. do. Further, the measuring device 1 transmits the generated measured value data Dw to the measuring device 1, and the waveform display device 2 processes when the measured value data Dw transmitted from the measuring device 1 is received by the communication unit 11. The unit 14 stores the measured value data Dw in the storage unit 15.

On the other hand, when the measurement process by the measuring device 1 is completed and the measured value data Dw for a predetermined time is stored in the storage unit 15, the operation unit 12 of the waveform display device 2 is operated as shown in FIG. , The waveform display screen 30 is displayed on the display unit 13. In this case, the waveform display screen 30 displays a cursor display 31 for designating an arbitrary point in the signal waveform W1 together with the signal waveform W1 based on the measured value data Dw. The cursor display 31 is a display that functions as an index for designating an arbitrary point in the time axis direction in each signal waveform W such as the signal waveform W1, and is displayed in the waveform display device 2 (program data Dp) of this example. When the waveform display screen 30 is displayed on the display unit 13, the cursor display 31 is displayed at the center of the waveform display screen 30 in the time axis direction (left-right direction in the figure) as shown in the figure.

In this case, for example, when it is desired to specify the measurement time (elapsed time) at the time when the signal waveform W1 shown in the figure crosses zero, it is necessary to align the cursor display 31 with the singular point Pb1. At this time, in the waveform display device 2 (program data Dp) of this example, even if the singular point Pb1 cannot be specified accurately, the cursor is displayed by specifying an arbitrary position in the vicinity of the singular point Pb1. 31 can be displayed according to the singular point Pb1.

Specifically, a "position designation operation" is performed in which the singular point Pb1 is set as an "arbitrary position (target position) in the waveform display screen". At this time, when the position Pa1 in the vicinity of the singular point Pb1 is specified, that is, when the tap operation is performed on the position Pa1, or when the drag operation with the position Pa1 as the end point is performed, the processing unit In accordance with the program data Dp, 14 first specifies a circular "search range" having a predetermined width centered on the position Pa1, and then displays the search range 32 ("search range display") indicating the specified "search range". An example) is displayed on the waveform display screen 30.

In the waveform display device 2 (program data Dp) of this example, the circular range indicated by the search range display 32 corresponds to the "predetermined search range based on the position designated by the position designation operation". .. Further, in the waveform display device 2 (program data Dp) of this example, as an example, regardless of whether the tap operation or the drag operation is performed, the finger touches the touch panel until it is released. A configuration is adopted in which the center of the portion is designated as the "designated position" and the circular range centered on the "designated position" is designated as the "search range" to display the search range display 32.

Therefore, in this example, when the singular point Pb1 is included inside the search range display 32, the finger is released from the touch panel at that time, and the singular point Pb1 is not included inside the search range display 32. (When the singular point Pb1 is located outside the search range display 32), the singularity is obtained by dragging the search range display 32 to a position where the singular point Pb is included and then releasing the finger from the touch panel. The position where the point Pb1 is included in the "search range" can be reliably specified as the "designated position".

Next, the processing unit 14 determines whether or not there is a "singular point" that satisfies the conditions of the "condition candidate" selected on the display condition setting screen 20 within the specified "search range" according to the program data Dp. do. At this time, when the condition of "zero cross" is selected, the processing unit 14 determines that the singularity Pb1 satisfying the condition of "zero cross" exists in the specified "search range" ("" An example of "when a singular point that satisfies a predetermined condition exists within the search range").

Subsequently, the processing unit 14 superimposes the position of the singular point Pb1 itself on the singular point Pb1 as "a predetermined display position based on the position of the singular point" according to the program data Dp, as shown in FIG. To display the cursor display 31. As a result, the singular point Pb1 is designated by the cursor display 31, and the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) of the singular point Pb1 are displayed on the waveform display screen 30 together with the signal waveform W1.

Further, when it is desired to specify the minimum value of the signal waveform W1 and the measurement time (elapsed time) shown in FIG. 4, it is necessary to align the cursor display 31 with the singular point Pb2. In this case, by designating the singular point Pb2 itself or the vicinity of the singular point Pb2 (for example, the position Pa2) as the "designated position", the cursor display 31 is displayed together with the singular point Pb1 described above. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 6, the cursor display 31 can be aligned with the singular point Pb2 and displayed. As a result, the singular point Pb2 is designated by the cursor display 31, and the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) of the singular point Pb2 are displayed on the waveform display screen 30 together with the signal waveform W1.

Further, when it is desired to specify the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) of the noise generation location in the signal waveform W1 shown in FIG. 4, it is necessary to align the cursor display 31 with the singular point Pb3. At this time, by designating the singular point Pb3 itself or the vicinity of the singular point Pb3 (for example, the position Pa3) as the "designated position", the cursor display 31 is aligned with the above-mentioned singular points Pb1 and Pb2 to be displayed. As shown in FIG. 7, the cursor display 31 can be aligned with the singular point Pb3 and displayed in the same manner as in the case of the above. As a result, the singular point Pb3 is designated by the cursor display 31, and the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) of the singular point Pb3 are displayed on the waveform display screen 30 together with the signal waveform W1.

On the other hand, when it is desired to specify the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) of the noise generation location in the signal waveform W2 shown in FIG. 8, it is necessary to align the cursor display 31 with the singular point Pb4a. At this time, for example, in a state where two "condition candidates" of "change point / noise" and "zero cross" are selected (valid), the position Pa4 is designated as the "designated position". Occasionally, not only the singular point Pb4a that satisfies the condition of "change point / noise" but also the singular point Pb4b that satisfies the condition of "zero cross" exists in the "search range" based on the position Pa4. ..

In such a state, when the "position designation operation" in which the position Pa4 is set as the "designated position" is performed, the processing unit 14 first follows the program data Dp and first sets a wide range centered on the position Pa4. A circular "search range" is specified, and a search range display 32 indicating the specified "search range" is displayed on the waveform display screen 30. Next, the processing unit 14 determines that two singular points Pb4a and Pb4b exist in the specified "search range" according to the program data Dp.

At this time, the processing unit 14 determines which of the "condition candidate" with the "change point / noise" and the "condition candidate" with the "zero cross" has the higher "priority". In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the "priority" of the "condition candidate" with the "change point / noise" is set higher than the "priority" of the "condition candidate" with the "zero cross". Therefore, the processing unit 14 specifies the singular point Pb4a that satisfies the condition of the "condition candidate" with the "change point / noise" as the "singular point that satisfies the predetermined condition".

Next, according to the program data Dp, the processing unit 14 superimposes the position of the singular point Pb4a on the singular point Pb4a as "a predetermined display position based on the position of the singular point" as shown in FIG. Display the cursor display 31. As a result, the singular point Pb4a is designated by the cursor display 31, and the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) of the singular point Pb4a are displayed on the waveform display screen 30 together with the signal waveform W2.

Further, when it is desired to specify the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) at the intersection of the signal waveforms W3 and W4 shown in FIG. 10, it is necessary to align the cursor display 31 with the singular point Pb5. In this case, by designating the singular point Pb5 itself or the vicinity of the singular point Pb5 (for example, the position Pa5) as the "designated position", the cursor display 31 is aligned with the above-mentioned singular points Pb1 to Pb3 and Pb4a and displayed. As shown in FIG. 11, the cursor display 31 can be aligned with the singular point Pb5 and displayed in the same manner as when the singularity Pb5 is formed. As a result, the singular point Pb5 is designated by the cursor display 31, and the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) of the singular point Pb5 are displayed on the waveform display screen 30 together with the signal waveforms W3 and W4.

Further, when it is desired to specify the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) of the rising position of the signal waveform W5 shown in FIG. 12, it is necessary to align the cursor display 31 with the singular point Pb6. In this case, by designating the singular point Pb6 itself or the vicinity of the singular point Pb6 (for example, the position Pa6) as the "designated position", the cursor display 31 is aligned with the above-mentioned singular points Pb1 to Pb3, Pb4a and Pb5. As shown in FIG. 13, the cursor display 31 can be aligned with the singular point Pb6 and displayed in the same manner as when the display is performed. As a result, the singular point Pb6 is designated by the cursor display 31, and the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) of the singular point Pb6 are displayed on the waveform display screen 30 together with the signal waveform W5.

On the other hand, in the waveform display device 2 (program data Dp) of this example, as shown in FIG. 14, instead of the cursor display 31, which functions as an index for designating an arbitrary point in the time axis direction in each signal waveform W. The cursor display 31a, which functions as an index for designating an arbitrary point in the signal level direction of each signal waveform W, can be displayed on the waveform display screen 30 together with the signal waveform W. In the figure, immediately after the cursor display 31a is displayed on the waveform display screen 30, the center portion (the portion where the signal level is “0”) in the signal level direction (vertical direction in the figure) on the waveform display screen 30. The state in which the cursor display 31a is displayed is illustrated.

In this case, for example, when it is desired to specify the maximum value value and the measurement time (elapsed time) in the signal waveform W6 shown in the figure, it is necessary to align the cursor display 31a with the singular point Pb7. At this time, by designating the singular point Pb7 itself or the vicinity of the singular point Pb7 (for example, the position Pa7) as the "designated position", the cursor display 31a is aligned with the singular point Pb7 as shown in FIG. It can be displayed. As a result, the singular point Pb7 is designated by the cursor display 31a, and the measured value and the measurement time (elapsed time) of the singular point Pb7 are displayed on the waveform display screen 30 together with the signal waveform W6.

Although different from any of the above examples, the "position designation operation" is performed while the signal waveform W is displayed on the waveform display screen 30, and the position designated by the "position designation operation" is used as a reference. When there is no score satisfying the condition of the "condition candidate" selected in advance in the "search range", the processing unit 14 adjusts to the position specified by the "position specification operation" as an example. Display the cursor display 31. As a result, the measured value and the measured time (elapsed time) for any one point other than the singular point are displayed on the waveform display screen 30 together with the signal waveform W.

As described above, in the waveform display device 2, the processing unit 14 displays the signal waveform W in the waveform display screen 30, and the pointing device (in this example, the touch panel of the operation unit 12) performs the “position designation operation”. Is performed, a predetermined "search range" based on the position specified by the "position specification operation" is specified, and a singular point satisfying the predetermined condition in the signal waveform W is ". When it exists in the "search range", the cursor displays 31 and 31a are displayed at a predetermined display position (in this example, the position of the singular point itself) with reference to the position of the singular point. Further, in this program data Dp, the processing unit 14 of the waveform display device 2 is made to execute the above processing.

Therefore, according to the waveform display device 2 and the program data Dp, when the singularity itself to be displayed in association with the cursor displays 31 and 31a can be accurately specified, the cursor display 31 and 31 are associated with the singularity. It goes without saying that 31a can be displayed, and even if an arbitrary position near the singular point to be displayed in correspondence with the cursor displays 31 and 31a is specified as the "designated position", the "designated position" is used as a reference. The singular point in the "search range" is automatically searched, and the cursor displays 31, 31a are automatically displayed at the positions corresponding to the singular point. Therefore, even a person who is unfamiliar with the operation of this type of device can reliably and easily display the cursor displays 31 and 31a at a position where an arbitrary singular point is designated.

Further, according to the waveform display device 2 and the program data Dp, the processing unit 14 specifies the "search range" with reference to the position designated by the pointing device at the end of the "position designation operation", thereby ". Even if you specify a position (a position away from the singular point) where the "search range" that does not include the "singular point" is specified at the start of the "position specification operation", the "singular point" is included in the "position specification operation". By performing a drag operation toward a position where the "search range" is specified (a position near the singular point), a desired singular point can be reliably detected.

Further, according to the waveform display device 2 and the program data Dp, the processing unit 14 specifies the "search range" with reference to the position designated by the pointing device at the start of the "position designation operation", thereby ". At the end of the "positioning operation", even though the position where the "search range" including the "singularity" is specified (the position near the singularity) was specified at the start of the "positioning operation" Even if the position where the "search range" that does not include the "singular point" is specified (the position away from the singular point) is specified in, the desired singular point is determined based on the initially specified position. It is possible to specify the "search range" to be detected and reliably detect the singular point.

Further, according to the waveform display device 2 and the program data Dp, the processing unit 14 displays a waveform display screen of the search range display 32 indicating a predetermined "search range" when the "position designation operation" is being performed. By displaying on 30, the position specified by the "position specification operation" is the position where the "search range" including the "singular point" is specified, or the "search" not including the "singular point". It is possible to reliably and easily recognize whether or not the "range" is the specified position. As a result, the desired singularity can be detected more reliably.

Further, according to the waveform display device 2 and the program data Dp, the processing unit 14 corresponds to the condition of the "condition candidate" selected from the plurality of "condition candidates" as the "predetermined condition". By determining whether or not the singular point exists in the "search range", the cursor displays 31 and 31a can be easily displayed at a desired display position corresponding to the singular point satisfying various conditions.

Further, according to the waveform display device 2 and the program data Dp, the processing unit 14 has a plurality of types of singular points in the "search range" that satisfy the conditions of a plurality of "condition candidates" having different "priorities". Occasionally, the condition of the "condition candidate" for which the highest "priority" is set is set as the "predetermined condition", and the predetermined display position based on the position of the corresponding singular point (in this example). By displaying the cursor displays 31, 31a at the position of the singular point itself), when a plurality of types of singular points are mixed within a very narrow range in the waveform display screen 30, a preset priority order is set. The cursor displays 31, 31a can be reliably and easily displayed corresponding to the high singularity.

The configuration of the "waveform display device" and the processing procedure of the "waveform display program" are not limited to the above configuration of the waveform display device 2 and the example of the processing procedure by the waveform display program. For example, a configuration including an operation unit 12 having a touch panel as a pointing device has been described as an example, but instead of the touch panel (or in addition to the touch panel), various types such as a mouse, a trackball, a touch pad, and a touch pen have been described. It can also be configured with a pointing device.

Further, the configuration and method for specifying the "search range" centering on the "position specified by the position specification operation (positions Pa1 to Pa7)" have been described, but the "position specified by the position specification operation" is in the time axis direction. It is also possible to employ configurations and methods that specify the "search range" as either the ends of the device or both ends in the signal level direction. Further, a configuration and a method for specifying a circular "search range" centered on the "specified position (positions Pa1 to Pa7)" have been described as an example, but the shape of the "search range" is not limited to a circle. , A configuration and method for specifying a "search range" such as a rectangle (square or rectangle) relative to a "specified position", a triangle, a polygon, and an ellipse can also be adopted. Further, the "search range display" is not limited to the display mode in which the "search range" is indicated by a line (broken line in this example) as in the search range display 32 in the above example, and is "within the search range". It is also possible to distinguish between "outside the search range" and "search range display" by different display colors and background patterns (not shown).

In addition, the "singular points that satisfy the predetermined conditions in the signal waveform" are the "maximum value", "minimum value", "zero cross", "rising edge", "falling point", and "change point / noise" in the above-mentioned example. It is not limited to a singular point that satisfies the conditions of "" and "intersection of waveforms". For example, "Elapsed time from the start of measurement at each time point every XX seconds (XX seconds is an arbitrarily set time)", "Time point when some processing is started [predetermined condition]: Trigger "Point" and "Time point arbitrarily specified by the user during measurement processing (when a mark indicating an arbitrary time point is added): Event mark" and other singular points that satisfy the conditions are displayed with "Cursor display". A configuration and method for displaying can be adopted. Further, a configuration in which the cursor displays 31 and 31a are displayed with the positions of the specified singular points (singular points Pb1 to Pb3, Pb4a, Pb5 to Pb7) as "predetermined display positions based on the singular point positions". The method was explained as an example, but the positions of "after XX seconds of the specified singularity" and "XX seconds before the specified singularity" ("XX seconds" is an arbitrarily set time). It is also possible to adopt a configuration and a method of displaying a "cursor display" in the second.

In addition, the cursor displays 31, 31a displayed on the waveform display screen 30 before the start of the "position designation operation" correspond to singular points in the "search range" based on the position designated by the "position designation operation". An example is a configuration and a method of executing a process of displaying at a position (the position of the singular point itself), that is, a process of moving the cursor displays 31 and 31a in the waveform display screen 30 before and after the "position designation operation". As described above, instead of such a configuration and method, the position specified by the "position specification operation" is performed without displaying the "cursor display" in the "waveform display screen" before the start of the "position specification operation". When a singular point exists in the reference "search range", a configuration and method of displaying the "cursor display" at the position corresponding to the singular point (for example, the position of the singular point itself) can be adopted. ..

In addition, an example in which the measuring device 1 that generates the measured value data Dw and the waveform display device 2 that displays the signal waveform W based on the measured value data Dw are separately configured has been described. It is also possible to configure the generation and display of the "signal waveform" based on the "waveform data" to be feasible in a single device. Specifically, the measuring device 200 shown in FIG. 16 is another example of the “waveform display device” and includes a measuring unit 201, an operating unit 202, a display unit 203, a processing unit 204, and a storage unit 205 for measurement. It is configured so that the measurement processing for the target and the display processing of the signal waveform based on the measurement result can be executed independently. The same elements as those of the measurement system 100 described above with respect to the measuring device 200 are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted.

In this case, the measuring unit 201 is configured to be able to execute a measurement process that measures a predetermined measure to be measured and generates measured value data Dw, similarly to the measuring device 1 in the measuring system 100 described above. Further, the operation unit 202 is provided with various operation switches for operating the measurement device 200, and is "arbitrary position in the waveform display screen" in the same manner as the operation unit 12 of the waveform display device 2 in the measurement system 100 described above. It is configured to be equipped with a touch panel or the like, which is an example of a "pointing device capable of performing a position designation operation for designating." Further, the display unit 203 displays various display screens such as the display condition setting screen 20 and the waveform display screen 30 under the control of the processing unit 24 in the same manner as the display unit 13 of the waveform display device 2 in the measurement system 100.

Further, the processing unit 204 is another example of the “processing unit” and controls the measuring device 200 in a comprehensive manner. The processing unit 204 stores the measured value data Dw transmitted from the measurement unit 201 in the storage unit 205 and stores the measurement value data Dw transmitted from the measurement unit 201 in the storage unit 205 in the same manner as the processing unit 14 of the waveform display device 2 in the measurement system 100 described above, and also displays the display condition setting screen 20. Is displayed on the display unit 203, and the conditions for displaying the cursor displays 31 and 31a in the waveform display screen 30 are set. Further, the processing unit 204 displays the waveform display screen 30 on the display unit 203, and displays the waveform display screen of the signal waveform W based on the measured value data Dw and the cursor displays 31, 31a for designating an arbitrary point on the signal waveform W. Display within 30. Further, the storage unit 205 stores the measured value data Dw and the like transmitted from the measurement unit 201 in the same manner as the storage unit 15 of the waveform display device 2 in the measurement system 100 described above.

In the measuring device 200, each process by the measuring device 1 and each process by the waveform display device 2 in the measuring system 100 are executed in the same procedure as the above-described example. Therefore, according to the measuring device 200, when the singular points themselves to be displayed in association with the cursor displays 31 and 31a can be accurately specified in the same manner as in the measuring system 100, the cursor corresponds to the singular points. It goes without saying that the displays 31 and 31a can be displayed, and even if an arbitrary position near the singular point to be displayed in correspondence with the cursor displays 31 and 31a is specified as the "designated position", the "designated position" is used. The singular points in the "search range" based on the above are automatically searched, and the cursor displays 31, 31a are automatically displayed at the positions corresponding to the singular points. Therefore, even a person who is unfamiliar with the operation of this type of device can reliably and easily display the cursor displays 31 and 31a at a position where an arbitrary singular point is designated.
