1. A handheld measurement system comprising:
- a measurement device;
a processor communicatively coupled to the measurement device, wherein the processor is configured to receive primary measurement data from the measurement device, wherein the processor is further configured to generate a measurement image derived from the primary measurement data, and wherein the processor is further configured to generate a plurality of option images, wherein each option image corresponds to a particular option;
a touch screen system communicatively coupled to the measurement device, wherein the touch screen system is configured to display the measurement image and the option images, wherein the displayed option images are selectable, and wherein the measurement device is configured to modify the measurement image in response to a selection of a displayed option image; and
a communication system communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the communication system is further configured to receive secondary measurement data, wherein the secondary measurement data comprises;
first module data received from a first module device, second module data received from a second module device, and third module data from a third module device, wherein the module devices are separate from each other,wherein a first displayed option image corresponds to a first stored measurement data that includes first module data received from the module device, a second displayed option image corresponds to a second stored measurement data that includes second module data received from the second module device, and a third displayed option image corresponds to a third stored measurement data that includes third module data received from the third module device.

Abstract
In at least one embodiment, a handheld measurement system for receiving measurement data. The handheld measurement system generates a measurement image derived from the received measurement data. The handheld measurement system also generates a plurality of option images that each correspond to a particular option. A touch screen is coupled to the measurement device, and the touch screen displays the measurement image and the option images. The displayed option images are selectable, and the measurement device is configured to modify the measurement image in response to a selection.

13. A handheld digital multimeter comprising one or more components configured to:
-
measure at least one electrical parameter; generate a measurement image derived from the at least one measured electrical parameter; generate a plurality of option images, wherein each option image corresponds to a particular option; simultaneously display the measurement image and the option images on a touch screen, wherein the displayed option images are selectable by an input into the touch screen; and modify the measurement image in response to a selection of at least one of the displayed option images, wherein the one or more components are further configured to receive secondary electrical measurement parameters from one or more module devices, wherein the secondary measurement data comprises;
a first measured module parameter from a first module device, a second measured module parameter from a second module device, and a third measured module parameter from the third module device, wherein the first, second, and third module devices are separate from each other,wherein a first displayed option image corresponds to the first module device, a second displayed option image corresponds to the second module device, and a third displayed option image corresponds to the third module device, and wherein the one or more components are configured to modify the measurement image to include or exclude;
the first measured module parameter, in response to a selection of the first displayed option image;
the second measured module parameter, in response to a selection of the second displayed option image; and
the third measured module parameter, in response to a selection of the third displayed option image. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
