Abstract

A measurement device is provided. The measurement device comprises a display configured to display a measurement trace, an analyzing unit configured to analyze a subset of measurement data represented by the measurement trace on the basis of at least one target measurement parameter, and a post-processing unit configured to search for the at least one target measurement parameter.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for controlling a measurement device, the method comprises the steps of:
displaying a measurement trace on a display of the measurement device, analyzing a subset of measurement data represented by the measurement trace on the basis of at least one target measurement parameter, and searching for the at least one target measurement parameter.

2 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the subset of measurement data is determined on the basis of at least one user measurement parameter set by at least one user input.

3 . The method according to claim 2 ,
wherein the at least one user input comprises at least one of a keyboard input, a mouse input, a touch gesture, and a voice control command.

4 . The method according to claim 2 ,
wherein the at least one user measurement parameter comprises at least one of bandwidth, center frequency, acquisition time, trigger offset, level, or any combination thereof.

5 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the method further comprises the step of automatically setting the at least one target measurement parameter in the display of the measurement device and/or wherein the method further comprises the step of setting the at least one target measurement parameter on the basis of at least one reasonable analysis result especially in the form of synchronization, error vector magnitude, preferably minimized error vector magnitude, maximum correlation, power maximum, or any combination thereof.

6 . The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one target measurement parameter comprises at least one of target bandwidth, target center frequency, target acquisition time, target trigger offset, level, or any combination thereof.

7 . The method according to claim 2 ,
wherein the method further comprises the step of deriving the at least one target measurement parameter from the at least one user measurement parameter.

8 . A measurement device comprising:
a display configured to display a measurement trace, an analyzing unit configured to analyze a subset of measurement data represented by the measurement trace on the basis of at least one target measurement parameter, and a post-processing unit configured to search for the at least one target measurement parameter.

9 . The measurement device according to claim 8 , wherein the subset of measurement data is determined on the basis of at least one user measurement parameter set by at least one user input.

10 . The measurement device according to claim 9 ,
wherein the at least one user input comprises at least one of a keyboard input, a mouse input, a touch gesture, and a voice control command and/or wherein the at least one user measurement parameter comprises at least one of bandwidth, center frequency, acquisition time, trigger offset, level, or any combination thereof.

11 . The measurement device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the analyzing unit is further configured to automatically set the at least one target measurement parameter in the display of the measurement device, and/or wherein the post-processing unit is further configured to automatically set the at least one target measurement parameter in the display of the measurement device.

12 . The measurement device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the at least one target measurement parameter comprises at least one of target bandwidth, target center frequency, target acquisition time, target trigger offset, level, or any combination thereof.

13 . The measurement device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the analyzing unit is further configured to set the at least one target measurement parameter on the basis of at least one reasonable analysis result especially in the form of synchronization, error vector magnitude, preferably minimized error vector magnitude, maximum correlation, power maximum, or any combination thereof, and/or wherein the post-processing unit is further configured to set the at least one target measurement parameter on the basis of at least one reasonable analysis result especially in the form of synchronization, error vector magnitude, preferably minimized error vector magnitude, maximum correlation, power maximum, or any combination thereof.

14 . The measurement device according to claim 9 , wherein the analyzing unit is further configured to derive the at least one target measurement parameter from the at least one user measurement parameter, and/or wherein the post-processing unit is further configured to derive the at least one target measurement parameter from the at least one user measurement parameter.
