  • Patent number: 9739801
    Abstract: An analytical gateway device receives measurement data comprising one or more measurement values from one or more measurement devices. The gateway device selects a measurement application from a plurality of measurement applications available for execution (e.g., on the gateway device or some other computing device) based at least in part on the measurement data. For example, the measurement application can be selected based on measurement type information. The measurement type information may include one or more measurement units associated with the measurement values. The gateway device may cause a user interface (or some other information) associated with the measurement application to be presented on a display (e.g., a display of the gateway device or some other computing device in communication with the gateway device).

  • Patent number: 9520157
    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.
