Abstract

A measuring device serves for the measurement and display of at least one measurement signal. It contains a measuring unit for the measurement of the at least one measurement signal and a display unit. In this context, the display unit comprises a processing unit and a touch-sensitive screen. The processing unit is embodied in order to display the at least one measured measurement signal by means of the touch-sensitive screen and to register and process touches on the touch-sensitive screen. The processing unit is further embodied in order, in the case of a touch of the touch-sensitive screen in a first position, to display the displayed at least one measured measurement signal in at least one first region around the first position magnified with a first magnification.

Claims

1. A measuring method for the measurement and display of

at least one measurement signal,

wherein the measurement signal is measured,

wherein, by means of a touch-sensitive screen,

the at least one measured measurement signal is displayed, and

touches on the touch-sensitive screen are registered and processed,

wherein in the case of a touch on the touch-sensitive screen at a first position, the displayed at least one measured measurement signal is displayed magnified in at least one first region around the first position with a first magnification.

2. The measuring method according to claim 1,

wherein in the at least first region around the first position, the displayed at least one measured measurement signal is displayed magnified only in a first dimension or only in a second dimension or in two dimensions.

3. The measuring method according to claim 1,

wherein in the at least first region around the first position, the displayed at least one measured measurement signal is displayed with a greater brightness and/or color saturation and/or intensity and/or sharpness than outside the first region.

4. The measuring method according to claim 1,

wherein a size of the first region is pre-set or selected by a user.

5. The measuring method according to claim 1,

wherein after an end of the touch on the touch-sensitive screen, the displayed at least one measured measurement signal is displayed without magnification.

6. The measuring method according to claim 1,

wherein in the case of a displacement of the touch to a second position, the displayed at least one measured measurement signal is displayed magnified in at least one second region around the second position.

7. The measuring method according to claim 1,

wherein the displayed at least one measured measurement signal is displayed in a third region around the first region and/or in a fourth region around the second region magnified with a second magnification, wherein the second magnification is smaller than the first magnification.

8. The measuring method according to claim 1,

wherein a touch pressure is detected by the touch-sensitive screen, and

wherein the first magnification and/or the second magnification is set dependent upon the detected touch pressure.

9. A measuring device for the measurement and display of

at least one measurement signal, with a measuring unit for the measurement of the at least one measurement signal and a display unit,

wherein the display unit comprises a processing unit and a touch-sensitive screen,

wherein the processing unit is embodied in order, by means of the touch-sensitive screen,

to display the at least one measured measurement signal, and

to register and process touches on the touch-sensitive screen,

wherein the processing unit is embodied in order, in the case of a touch on the touch-sensitive screen at a first position, to display the displayed at least one measured measurement signal in at least one first region around the first position magnified with a first magnification.
