Abstract

The present invention relates to the automatic configuration of a measuring and test device in a multi-user test system. Individual users are initially authenticated. An individual user profile can be generated for authenticated users. The individual user profile can be stored in a user database. After authentication of a user, the user profile can be read-out from the profile database and then a measuring and test device can then be automatically adjusted corresponding to the user profile.

First claim

1 - 10 . (canceled)

11 . Multi-user test system, comprising:
a measuring and test device which is configured to execute predetermined measuring and test operations; an authentication device which is configured to authenticate a user; a profile database which is configured to store and provide user profiles; and a control device which is configured to generate a user profile for an authenticated user and store same in the profile database and to read-out a user profile for an authenticated user from the profile database and to adjust the measuring and test device using the read-out user profile.

12 . Multi-user test system of claim 11 , wherein the control device is configured to automatically read-out the user profile of an authenticated user after authentication of the user and to adjust the measuring and test device using the read-out user profile.

13 . Multi-user test system of claim 11 , wherein the control device is configured to read-out configuration data of the measuring and test device and to adjust a user profile using the read-out configuration data.

14 . Multi-user test system of claim 11 , wherein the user profile comprises at least one of:
a setting for a graphical user interface, a setting for detecting measurement values, a setting for generating measurement signals, a setting for parametrisation of calculation specifications, a setting for selecting algorithms, a setting for an allocation of rights.

15 . Multi-user test system of claim 11 , wherein the authentication device is configured to perform the authentication by means of at least one of:
a user name and password, biometric authentication, authentication by means of a physical access key, authentication by means of an access code.

16 . Multi-user test system of claim 11 , wherein the control device is configured to limit adjustments of the measuring and test device in dependence upon an allocation of rights in the user profile.

17 . Multi-user test system of claim 11 , having an administration device which is configured to read-out a user profile from the profile database.

18 . Multi-user test system of claim 11 , having an administration device which is configured to modify a user profile.

19 . Multi-user test system of claim 18 , wherein the administration device is configured to modify a plurality of user profiles collectively.

20 . Multi-user test system of claim 11 , having an administration device which is configured to store a user profile in the profile database.

21 . Method for configuring a multi-user test system, the method comprising the steps of:
authenticating a user; reading-out a user profile of the authenticated user; and adjusting a measuring and test device using the read-out user profile.

22 . Method as claimed in claim 11 , comprising the steps of:
reading-out a configuration of the measuring and test device; generating a user profile using the read-out configuration; and storing the user profile in a profile database.
