Storage Modes for Measurement Values and Contextual Information
First Claim
1. A portable handheld measurement device, comprising:
- a user input device;
an output device;
measurement circuitry configured to measure one or more parameters and generate a plurality of corresponding measurement values;
a processor; and
a storage system comprising volatile memory, the storage system having stored therein computer-executable instructions configured to cause the portable handheld measurement device to;
automatically store the plurality of measurement values in the volatile memory in a limited replay storage mode, wherein the limited replay storage mode comprises a storage limitation that applies to the plurality of measurement values stored in the limited replay storage mode;
receive a replay request; and
responsive to the replay request, present via the output device at least some of the plurality of measurement values stored in the limited replay storage mode.

Abstract
In one aspect, a portable handheld measurement device automatically stores measurement values in volatile memory in a limited replay storage mode that comprises a storage limitation that applies to the plurality of measurement values stored in the limited replay storage mode; receives a replay request; and, responsive to the replay request, presents at least some of the measurement values stored in the limited replay storage mode. In another aspect, a portable handheld measurement device automatically stores measurement values and associated contextual data according to a persistent storage mode; and automatically stores the measurement values according to a limited replay storage mode, wherein the limited replay storage mode comprises a storage limitation that is not present in the persistent storage mode.
