Patent Images
1. A system having a display adapted to present a graphical user interface to an end-user for selecting ranges of values comprising:
- a first span control corresponding to a first range of values provided along a first rule line, wherein the first span control comprises a first starting point slider and a first ending point slider; and
a second span control corresponding to a second range of values provided along a second rule line, wherein the second span control comprises a second starting point slider and second ending point slider, wherein the second span control is related to the first span control such that changes made using the first span control affect the second span control.

Abstract
A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided for use in a system, such as a video test and measurement instrument. The GUI provides a mechanism for a user to select one, or more, ranges of values. Embodiments of the GUI provide an ability to correlate ranges between a first sequence and second sequence, such that two ranges of values are related in some fashion.

9. The system of 1, wherein the first starting point slider is displayed as an arrowhead offset from the first rule line on a first side of the first rule line, and the first ending point slider is displayed as an arrowhead offset from the first rule line on a second side of the first rule line opposite the first side of the first rule line.

10. A system having a display adapted to present a graphical user interface to an end-user for selecting a range of values comprising:
-
a rule line corresponding to a range of values; a first slider for selecting a starting point within the range of values, wherein the first slider is displayed as an arrowhead offset from the rule line on a first side of the span; and a second slider for selecting an end point within the range of values, wherein the second slider is displayed as an arrowhead offset from the rule line on a second side of the rule line opposite the first side of the rule line.

11. A method of defining two related ranges of values comprising:
-
providing a graphical user interface having a first set of range controls for defining a first starting point and a first ending point along a first rule line, and a second set of range controls for defining a second starting point and a second ending point along a second rule line; automatically adjusting the second set of range controls in response to adjustments made in the first set of range controls. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
