  • Patent number: 10969407
    Abstract: Methods and measurements systems are disclosed relating to use of a soft front panel (SFP) to display results of measurement functions. A measurement device may concurrently perform two or more measurement functions to produce two or more respective signal measurements, wherein each measurement function comprises an acquisition function and a processing function. A computer may be configured to display information on a soft front panel on the display device corresponding to two or more of the signal measurements. The computer may receive, from a user, a selection of an update option, wherein the update option indicates a trigger that causes the displayed information to update. Responsive to receiving an indication that the trigger has occurred, the computer may update the displayed information on the soft front panel.

  • Publication number: 20150339127
    Abstract: System and method for configuring a measurement device. An initial configuration of a measurement device may be stored on a storage medium. In response to a change in the configuration of the measurement device, information indicating the change in the configuration may be stored on the storage medium, where the change in the configuration results in a modified configuration. Storing the information indicating the change in the configuration may be repeated one or more times for respective changes. The stored initial configuration and the stored information indicating changes in the configuration may comprise a history of configuration changes for the measurement device which may be useable to perform one or more of: generating a report regarding the measurement device, displaying a history of changes in the configuration of the measurement device, or reverting the measurement device to a previous configuration.
