Auto-numbering of measurements in digital multimeter
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A digital multimeter, comprising:
- a measurement component for receiving measurement data corresponding to one or more physical or electrical parameters;
a user interface component for receiving a user input to automatically save a sequence of measurement data readings, wherein each reading among the sequence of readings is associated with a name, and the measurement data for each reading in the sequence of readings correspond to measurements at a single measurement location of the same one or more physical or electrical parameters, wherein the name associated with the sequence of readings is used to identify the readings when the readings are later retrieved; and
an auto-incrementing descriptor component for automatically including incremented descriptors with each name associated with the sequence of readings.

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.

17. A digital multimeter, comprising:
-
a measurement component for receiving measurement data corresponding to one or more physical or electrical parameters; a user interface component for receiving a user input to automatically save a sequence of measurement data readings, wherein each reading among the sequence of readings is associated with a name, and the measurement data for each reading in the sequence of readings correspond to measurements of the same one or more physical or electrical parameters; an auto-incrementing descriptor component for automatically assigning incremented descriptors to each name associated with the sequence of readings; and a sequence recording component for saving the sequence of readings in response to the user input presented at the user input component, wherein the sequence recording component saves the sequence of readings in response to a single user input presented at the user input component.

18. A digital multimeter, comprising:
-
a measurement component for receiving a sequence of readings corresponding to one or more physical or electrical parameters, wherein the readings in the sequence of readings each correspond to measurements at a single measurement location of the same one or more physical or electrical parameters; a data storage component for automatically saving the sequence of readings that includes a first reading and a first name associated with the first reading, wherein the first name includes a first descriptor and is used to identify the first reading when the first reading is later retrieved; and wherein the data storage component automatically saves a second reading in the sequence of readings and a second name associated with the second reading, and wherein the second name includes the second descriptor and is used to identify the second reading when the second reading is later retrieved. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
