Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das bekannte Servicegerat so weiterzuentwickeln, daß es bei den verschiedensten Einsatzfällen gut handhabbar ist .The invention has for its object to develop the known service device so that it is easy to handle in a variety of applications.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist bei dem elektronischen Servicegerat der eingangs angegebenen Art erfindungs gemäß der Bild- schirmtreiber so ausgelegt , daß eine Drehung der Anzeige auf dem Bildschirm aus einer Grundposition auf einen mittels der Tastatur eingegebenen Befehl hin erfolgt .To achieve this object, in the electronic Servicegerat of the initially indicated type B is fiction, according il d - screen driver designed so that a rotation of the display on the screen from a basic position following a command entered using the keyboard.
Der wesentliche Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Servicegerätes besteht darin, daß es sich auch in räumlich beengten Servicefallen leicht bedienen läßt , weil die Notwendigkeit entfallen ist , das Servicegerät immer von der Frontseite her bedienen zu müssen . So kann das erfindungsgemäße Servicegerät auch in einer Position mit der Rückseite nach vorn ohne Schwierig- keiten betrieben werden, so daß die Anschlußeinrichtungen des Gerätes gut zugänglich sind; die separate Tastatur läßt dies ohne weiteres zu, und die Ablesbarkeit des Bildschirmes ist durch entsprechendes Herausschwenken des Bildschirmes und Drehen der Bildschirmanzeige gewährleistet .The main advantage of the service device according to the invention is that it can be easily operated even in spatially confined service cases, because there is no longer any need to operate the service device from the front. Thus, the service device according to the invention can also be operated in one position with the rear facing forward without difficulty, so that the connection devices of the device are easily accessible; the separate keyboard allows this without further ado, and the readability of the screen is ensured by pivoting the screen out accordingly and rotating the screen display.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Servicegerätes ist bei einer Position des auf der Bodenflache stehenden Servicegerätes mit nach vorn weisender Rückseite der Bildschirm um etwa 180° ausgeschwenkt , und die Anzeige auf dem Bildschirm ist aus der Grundposition heraus auf einen entsprechenden Befehl durch den Bildschirmtreiber um 180° gedreht .In an advantageous use of the service device according to the invention, with a position of the service device standing on the floor surface with the rear facing forward, the screen is pivoted out by approximately 180 °, and the display on the screen is 180 ° from the basic position upon a corresponding command by the screen driver ° rotated.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Verwendung des erf indungsge- mäßen Servicegerätes ist bei einer Position des auf einerIn a further advantageous use of the service device according to the invention, the position of the service device is on a
Seitenf läche stehenden Servicegerätes mit nach vorn weisender Rückseite der Bildschirm um etwa 90° gedreht , und die Anzeige auf dem Bildschirm ist aus der Grundposition heraus auf einen entsprechenden Befehl durch den Bildschirmtreiber um 90° gedreht .Service unit standing on the side with the rear side facing forward, the screen is rotated by approximately 90 °, and the display on the screen is rotated by 90 ° from the basic position upon a corresponding command by the display driver.
Zur weiteren Erläuterung der Erfindung sind in den Figuren 1 bis 4 vier verschiedene Verwendungs fälle des erf indungsge- mäßen Servicegerates dargestellt . Dabei sind für übereinstim- mende Teile des erfindungsgemäßen Servicegerates in den verschiedenen Figuren gleiche Bezugszeichen verwendet.To further explain the invention, four different cases of use of the service device according to the invention are shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. Here are for Mende parts of the service device according to the invention used the same reference numerals in the different figures.
Das in den Figuren gezeigte Servicegerät besitzt ein guader- förmiges Gehäuse 1, an dessen Oberkante 2 im Bereich seiner Frontseite 3 ein Bildschirm 4 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Das Gehäuse 1 hat eine Bodenflache 5, so daß die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Lage des Servicegerates die Grundpostion darstellt. Eine Tastatur 6 zur Bedienung des Servicegerates ist abnehm- bar an der Frontseite 3 des Gehäuses 1 gehalten und über eine Datenleitung 7 mit einer im Innern des Gehäuses 1 untergebrachten, nicht näher dargestellten Datenverarbeitungsanordnung mit einem Bildschirmtreiber für den Bildschirm 4 verbunden; in Fig. 1 und den übrigen Figuren ist die Tastatur 6 je- weils im von der Frontseite 3 abgenommenen Zustand gezeigt.The service device shown in the figures has a guader-shaped housing 1, on the upper edge 2 of which a screen 4 is pivotally mounted in the region of its front side 3. The housing 1 has a bottom surface 5, so that the position of the service device shown in FIG. 1 represents the basic position. A keyboard 6 for operating the service device is held detachably on the front side 3 of the housing 1 and is connected via a data line 7 to a data processing arrangement, not shown, which is accommodated in the interior of the housing 1 and is connected to a screen driver for the screen 4; 1 and the other figures, the keyboard 6 is shown in each case in the state removed from the front 3.
Häufig erweist es sich im Servicefalle als vorteilhaft, das Servicegerät mit seiner Frontseite 3 einer zu prüfenden Anlage zugewandt zu positionieren, weil nur so an einer Rück- seite 8 des Gerätes vorhandene Anschlußeinrichtungen 9, wie Interface-Karten und dergl., leicht zugänglich sind. Die Tastatur 6 kann wegen der Datenleitung 7 ohne weiteres bei dieser Anordnung des Servicegerates vor die Rückseite 8 gelegt werden. Ohne besondere Vorkehrungen ist aber in dieser beispielsweise in Fig. 2 gezeigten Lage der Bildschirm 4 auch dann nicht ablesbar, wenn er um 180° hochgeschwenkt ist, weil dann die Anzeige auf dem Bildschirm auf dem Kopf steht. Hier greift die Erfindung an, indem der Bildschirmtreiber so ausgelegt ist, daß er auf einen mit der Tastatur 6 eingegebenen Befehl eine Drehung der Anzeige auf dem Bildschirm 4 um 180° bewirkt; die Anzeige beispielsweise «Test* ist somit auch in einer Lage des Servicegerates gemäß der Fig. 2 ohne Schwierigkeiten ablesbar. Entsprechendes gilt für Einsatzfalle des erfindungsgemäßen Servicegerates, bei denen aus unterschiedlichen Gründen das Gerät auf seiner einen Seitenfläche 10 liegt, wie es in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist. In diesem Falle ist zur guten Ablesbarkeit des Bildschirmes 4 dieser wiederum um 180° geschwenkt, und es ist vom Bildschirmtreiber auf einen über die Tastatur 6 eingegebenen, speziellen Befehl dafür gesorgt, daß die Anzeige auf dem Bildschirm 4 um 90° gedreht ist.In service cases, it often proves to be advantageous to position the front of the service device 3 facing a system to be tested, because only in this way are connection devices 9, such as interface cards and the like, easily accessible on a rear side 8 of the device. The keyboard 6 can easily be placed in front of the rear 8 because of the data line 7 in this arrangement of the service device. Without special precautions, however, the screen 4 cannot be read in this position, for example shown in FIG. 2, even if it is swiveled up by 180 °, because then the display on the screen is upside down. This is where the invention comes into play in that the display driver is designed in such a way that it causes the display on the display 4 to rotate by 180 ° in response to a command entered with the keyboard 6; the display, for example, “Test *” can thus be read off without difficulty even in a position of the service device according to FIG. 2. The same applies to cases of use of the service device according to the invention, in which, for various reasons, the device lies on one side surface 10, as shown in FIG. 3. In this case, for good readability of the screen 4, this in turn is pivoted through 180 °, and the screen driver takes care of a special command entered via the keyboard 6 that the display on the screen 4 is rotated through 90 °.
Fig. 4 zeigt schließlich, daß das Servicegerat auch auf seiner anderen Seitenfläche 11 liegend betrieben werden kann. In diesem Falle ist durch Eingabe eines weiteren Befehls mittels des Bildschirmtreibers erreicht, daß die Anzeige auf dem Bildschirm 4 entgegengesetzt zu dem Fall gemäß Fig. 3 um 90° in der anderen Richtung gedreht und somit auch wieder gut ablesbar ist.4 finally shows that the service device can also be operated lying on its other side surface 11. In this case, by entering a further command by means of the screen driver, the display on the screen 4, contrary to the case according to FIG. 3, is rotated by 90 ° in the other direction and is therefore easy to read again.
Die Programmierung des Bildschirmtreibers in der Weise, daß er die oben dargelegten Anforderungen erfüllt, bereitet keine besonderen Schwierigkeiten, weil dabei in analoger Weise vorgegangen werden kann, wie es im Prinzip von Druckertreibern her bekannt ist . Programming the display driver in such a way that it fulfills the requirements set out above does not present any particular difficulties, because the procedure can be analogous to that which is known in principle from printer drivers.
