Abstract: A digital multimeter stores multiple sequential measurements of physical or electrical parameters. Each of the sequential measurements has a name including an automatically generated descriptor. The descriptor for each sequential measurement may indicate a relative position of the measurement within the sequence. For instance, the descriptor may indicate whether the measurement was obtained before or after other measurements in the sequence.

Abstract: A digital multimeter having improved recording functionality is disclosed. The digital multimeter disclosed incorporates a rotary switch, a series of keys and buttons, and a digital display so as to provide highly integrated, programmable and configurable features. Several of these features, either taken alone or in combination, provide significant improvements in ease of use, speed of user operation, and safety associated with use of the instrument.

Abstract: A digital multimeter with a rotary switch having a plurality of positions, each of the positions corresponding to a primary measurement function to be performed. An LCD displays secondary functions or modes corresponding to the positions of the rotary switch and values determined by performing one of the measurement functions. The multimeter includes default functions for each position of the rotary switch that may be changed to other functions or modes. When the other functions or modes are set in a first position, the rotary switch is moved to a second position, and returned to the first position the multimeter restores the functions and/or modes set when the rotary switch was previously in the first position.

Abstract: An improved display controller provides commands for changing a display. The controller includes a component for determining whether or not the command provided thereby includes an attribute changing command therein. If a NOCHANGE mode has been set, and the controller component determines that an implicit attribute changing command is included in the display command, the attribute changing command is inhibited. If a direct, explicit, attribute changing command is detected, the attribute change is performed. If the NOCHANGE mode has not been set, all attribute changing commands are executed, whether implicitly or explicitly provided.
