Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A measuring system comprises a measuring device for measuring data with respect to a measurement setup comprising circuits with the aid of a probe, and at least one mobile device wirelessly connected to the measuring device, wherein the at least one mobile device displays a live view of the measurement setup superimposed on at least one measurement result of the measuring device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A measuring system comprising: a measuring device for measuring data with respect to a measurement setup, and at least one mobile device connected to the measuring device, wherein the at least one mobile device displays a live view of the measurement setup superimposed on at least one measurement result of the measuring device. 2 . The measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one mobile device comprises a mobile phone, a tablet computer, any kind of virtual or augmented reality device such as virtual reality glasses or augmented reality glasses, or a combination thereof. 3 . The measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the connection between the measuring device and the at least one mobile device is a wireless connection. 4 . The measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one mobile device recognizes or marks at least one probe of the measuring device in the displayed live view of the measurement setup superimposed on the at least one measurement result of the measuring device. 5 . The measuring system according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one mobile device associates the at least one probe of the measuring device with at least one corresponding measurement result of the measurement results of the measuring device. 6 . The measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the measuring device comprises geolocation means for determining a recent position. 7 . The measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one mobile device comprises geolocation means for determining a recent position. 8 . The measuring system according to claim 1 , wherein the measuring device comprises voice control means for controlling at least one function of the measuring device by voice. 9 . The measuring device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one mobile device comprises voice control means for controlling at least one function of the at least one mobile device or at least one function of the measuring device. 10 . A measuring method comprising the steps of: measuring data with respect to a measurement setup with the aid of a measuring device, and displaying a live view of the measurement setup superimposed on at least one measurement result of the measuring device with the aid of at least one mobile device connected to the measuring device. 11 . The measuring method according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one mobile device comprises a mobile phone, a tablet computer, any kind of virtual or augmented reality device such as virtual reality glasses or augmented reality glasses, or a combination thereof. 12 . The measuring method according to claim 10 , wherein the connection between the measuring device and the at least one mobile device is a wireless connection. 13 . The measuring method according to claim 10 , further comprising the step of: recognizing or marking at least one probe of the measuring device in the displayed live view of the measurement setup superimposed on the at least one measurement result of the measuring device. 14 . The measuring method according to claim 13 , further comprising the step of: associating the at least one probe of the measuring device with at least one corresponding measurement result of the at least one measurement result of the measuring device. 15 . The measuring method according to claim 10 , further comprising the step of: determining a recent position with the aid of the measuring device comprising geolocation means. 16 . The measuring method according to claim 10 , further comprising the step of: determining a recent position with the aid of the at least one mobile device comprising geolocation means. 17 . The measuring method according to claim 10 , further comprising the step of: controlling at least one function of the measuring device by voice with the aid of the measuring device comprising voice control means. 18 . The measuring method according to claim 10 , further comprising the step of: controlling at least one function of the at least one mobile device or of the measuring device by voice with the aid of the at least one mobile device comprising voice control means.
