1. A handheld device for detecting electrical or physical parameters, comprising:
- a measurement component that measures physical or electrical parameters;
a user interface configured to receive an activation input that activates automated saving of subsequent successive stable measurements measured by the measurement component; and
a processor coupled to the measurement component and the user interface, wherein, responsive to receipt of the activation input by the user interface, the processor;
displays a plurality of subsequent successive stable measurements measured by the measurement component, wherein each measurement determined to be stable is displayed until a further subsequent measurement is determined to be stable; and
automatically stores each measurement of the plurality of displayed subsequent successive stable measurements in a memory communicatively coupled to the processor,wherein the user interface is further configured to receive a review input, and responsive to receipt of the review input by the user interface, the processor retrieves a plurality of previously-stored stable measurements and provides a user-selective display of the stable measurements for review by a user.

Abstract
A digital multimeter stores multiple sequential measurements of physical or electrical parameters. Each of the sequential measurements has a name including an automatically generated descriptor. The descriptor for each sequential measurement may indicate a relative position of the measurement within the sequence. For instance, the descriptor may indicate whether the measurement was obtained before or after other measurements in the sequence.

20. A handheld device for detecting physical or electrical parameters, comprising:
-
a user input component that receives; (i) a user selection of an input that activates automatic storage of subsequent successive stable measurements as a set if measurements in a memory; (ii) an identifier to be associated with the set of measurements; a measurement circuit configured to measure physical or electrical parameters; and a processor coupled to the measurement circuit, the user input component, and a memory, wherein responsive to user selection of the input of the user input component, the processor; automatically stores a plurality of subsequent successive stable measurements in the memory without further user selection of the input; and associates the identifier with each measurement of the plurality of subsequent successive stable measurements stored in the memory. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23)
