First Claim
1. An instrument comprising:
- an input port for receiving a signal;
a processor for measuring a first parameter related to said signal; and
a touch-enabled display for receiving commands directed to said processor and displaying said first parameter, said commands including commands that determine how said first parameter is displayed and commands that determine one or more operations that are performed by said instrument,wherein said commands are grouped into a plurality of contexts, each command in a context being specified by a corresponding one of a plurality of control gestures on said touch-enabled display, a first control gesture being used for a first command in a first context, said first control gesture also being utilized for a second command in a second context, said first context being different from said second context, said processor detecting said first control gesture.

Abstract
An instrument and method for operating the same is disclosed. The instrument includes an input port for receiving a signal, a processor for measuring a first parameter related to the signal, and a touch-enabled display. The touch-enabled display receives commands directed to the processor and displays the first parameter. The commands including commands that determine how the first parameter is displayed and commands that determine the manner in which the instrument operates. The commands are grouped into a plurality of contexts. Each command in a context is specified by a control gesture on the touch-enabled display. A first control gesture is used for a first command in a first context, the first control gesture is also utilized for a second command in a second context, the first context being different from the second context.
