Abstract
A Method for a measurement system, wherein the measurement system includes a touch-screen, a control-unit for the touch-screen, a measurement hardware, a measurement application and a gesture detection unit, wherein the measurement application interacts with the measurement hardware. In a first step the control-unit detects a position and/or a movement of one or more physical objects on and/or near the touch-screen. In a second step the gesture detection unit assigns the position and/or the movement of one or more physical objects to one gesture within a set of gestures. In a third step the gesture detection unit communicated the detected gesture to the measurement application. Furthermore, the measurement application performs a different function for the same detected gesture depending on a user interface of the measurement application which is displayed on the touch-screen when the gesture is detected.

18. A method for a measurement system, wherein the measurement system comprises a touch-screen, a control-unit for the touch-screen, a measurement hardware, a measurement application and a gesture detection unit, wherein the measurement application interacts with the measurement hardware, the method comprising steps of:
-
detecting a position of one or more physical objects on and/or near the touch-screen by the control-unit, and/or detecting a movement of one or more physical objects on and/or near the touch-screen by the control-unit; assigning the position and/or the movement of one or more physical objects to one gesture within a set of gestures by a gesture detection unit; and communicating the detected gesture to the measurement application, wherein the measurement application performs a different function for the same detected gesture depending on a user interface of the measurement application which is displayed on the touch-screen when the gesture is detected. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A measurement system comprising:
-
a touch-screen; a control-unit for the touch-screen; a measurement hardware; a measurement application; and a gesture detection unit, wherein; the measurement application interacts with the measurement hardware, the control-unit detects a position of one or more physical objects on and/or near the touch-screen and/or wherein the control unit detects a movement of one or more physical objects on and/or near the touch-screen, the gesture detection unit assigns the position and/or the movement of one or more physical objects to one gesture within a set of gestures, the gesture detection unit communicates the detected gesture to the measurement application, and the measurement application performs a different function for the same detected gesture depending on a user interface of the measurement application which is displayed on the touch-screen when the gesture is detected.
