First Claim
Patent Images
1. A measurement device comprising:
- one or more hardware processors configured to;
measure a transmission characteristic for providing an eye pattern;
draw the eye pattern on a screen in a drawing area divided in equally spaced bins of a two-dimensional histogram, wherein each bin of said two-dimensional histogram is represented by a counter value representing an occurrence frequency of signal traces of the measured transmission signal in the respective bin; and
convert automatically the eye pattern into a character separated values, CSV, file, wherein the body of the CSV file comprises lines including the counter values of the two-dimensional histogram separated by delimiters.
