Abstract

According to the present invention, a signal display device includes: a first characteristic value measurement unit, a display unit, a second characteristic value measurement unit, and a display form changing unit. The first characteristic value measurement unit measures any one of characteristic values of a signal to be measured, and the display unit displays the characteristic value measured by the first characteristic value measurement unit while the characteristic value is associated with time. The second characteristic value measurement unit measures any one of the characteristic values of the signal to be measured, and the display form changing unit changes a display form on the display unit according to the characteristic value measured by the second characteristic value measurement unit.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A signal display device comprising:
a first characteristic value measurer that measures a first characteristic value of characteristic values of a signal to be measured;
a display that displays the first characteristic value measured by the first characteristic value measurer, the first characteristic value associated with time;
a second characteristic value measurer that measures a second characteristic value of the characteristic values of the signal to be measured; and
a display form changer that changes a display form on the display according to the second characteristic value measured by the second characteristic value measurer,
wherein the first characteristic value measurer measures at least one of a frequency, a phase and a level of the signal to be measured,
wherein the second characteristic value measurer measures at least one of the frequency, the phase and the level of the signal to be measured,
wherein the display form changer causes the display to display the signal to be measured, the second characteristic value of which is more than a predetermined value, and causes the display not to display the signal to be measured, the second characteristic value of which is less than the predetermined value, and
wherein the signal to be measured is received from outside of the signal display device.

2. The signal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display form changer causes the display to display the signal to be measured, the second characteristic value of which is less than a predetermined value, and causes the display not to display the signal to be measured, the second characteristic value of which is more than the predetermined value.

3. The signal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display form changer causes the display to display the signal to be measured, the second characteristic value of which is inside a predetermined range, and causes the display not to display the signal to be measured, the second characteristic value of which is outside the predetermined range.

4. The signal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display form changer causes the display to display the signal to be measured, the second characteristic value of which is outside a predetermined range, and causes the display not to display the signal to be measured, the second characteristic value of which is inside the predetermined range.

5. The signal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display form changer changes a display color of the signal to be measured on the display according to whether or not the second characteristic value is more than a predetermined value.

6. The signal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the display form changer changes a display color of the signal to be measured on the display according to whether or not the second characteristic value is inside a predetermined range.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a program of instructions for execution by a computer to perform a signal display process, the signal display process comprising:
measuring any one of characteristic values of a signal to be measured, as a first characteristic value, the first characteristic value including at least one of a frequency, a phase and a level of the signal to be measured;
displaying the measured first characteristic value, the measured first characteristic value associated with time;
measuring any one of the characteristic values of the signal to be measured, as a second characteristic value, the second characteristic value including at least one of the frequency, the phase and the level of the signal to be measured; and
changing a display form in the displaying, according to the measured second characteristic value,
wherein the changing causes a display to display the signal to be measured, the second characteristic value of which is more than a predetermined value, and causes the display not to display the signal to be measured, the second characteristic value of which is less than the predetermined value, and
wherein the signal to be measured is received from outside of a signal display device.
