Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer-readable medium for automatically generating a combined display of measurement data representing a combined measurement, such as a multiphase parameter, includes establishing, by a mobile computing device, communication connections with a plurality of measurement devices configured to generate measurement data. The mobile computing device receives the measurement data generated by the plurality of measurement devices, and in response to information indicative of the measurement data representing related parts of a combined measurement, the mobile computing device automatically groups the measurement data received from the measurement devices and automatically displays the grouped measurement data in a combined display that shares at least one axis of measurement.

Abstract: A method and system for capturing and annotating measurement data includes communicatively connecting a mobile computing device to one or more measurement devices, and receiving measurement data from the one or more measurement devices. The mobile computing device stores the received measurement data and annotates the stored measurement data with metadata. The metadata includes group identifying information that associates the stored measurement data with other data having similar group identifying information. In at least one embodiment, measurement data is automatically associated with the group identifying information based on the measurement data being captured within a predetermined amount of time of each other or within a predetermined distance of each other as determined by a positioning system.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium for sharing measurement data with a remote device includes establishing, by a mobile computing device at an equipment site, a first communication connection with a measurement device that is configured to measure data with respect to equipment at the equipment site. The mobile computing device receives measurement data by way of the first communication connection. While remaining at the equipment site, the mobile computing device receives a request to share the measurement data with a selected contact via a remote device. In response, a second communication connection is established with the remote device, the measurement data to be shared is identified, and the identified measurement data is communicated to the remote device for review by the selected contact. Prior to establishing a communication connection with the remote device, permission to communicate the measurement data to the selected contact may be obtained from a gatekeeper.

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 method and system for capturing measurement data from a measurement device using a mobile computing device is provided. A mobile computing device is communicatively connected to one or more measurement devices, and receives measurement data from the one or more measurement devices. The mobile computing device stores the received measurement data. In some embodiments, the measurement devices have less storage space than the mobile computing device, and so the mobile computing device is capable of storing more measurements than the measurement devices are capable of storing. The mobile computing device is also capable of presenting the stored measurement data as a graph of a time series of values, which would not be possible using only the measurement device given its smaller memory.

Abstract: A method and system for comparing measurements of a device under test (DUT) to measurements taken of similar equipment are provided. The method includes communicatively connecting a mobile computing device to one or more measurement devices, and receiving measurement data from the one or more measurement devices. The mobile computing device determines an equipment identifier of the DUT, and retrieves information associated with the equipment, which may include previous measurements of other devices or reference documents. The mobile computing device presents the retrieved information along with the received measurement data for comparison.

Abstract: A digital multimeter includes an auto-save component configured to automatically capture and save a sequence of measurements. The auto-save component detects when a measurement becomes stable and upon determining that the measurement has become stable, captures and saves the measurement in a memory of the digital multimeter. The multimeter may additionally include an auto-naming component for automatically assigning a name to each measurement in the sequence, and an auto-hold component for temporarily freezing the display of the stable measurements in the multimeter.

Abstract: A digital multimeter comprises a rotary switch and a rotary switch memory. The rotary switch can be moved between a plurality of positions to change the function performed by the digital multimeter. When the rotary switch is in a particular position, a user can change the function currently associated with that position from a default function to a non-default function. Thereafter, when the user moves the rotary switch away from the particular and then subsequently moves the position back to the particular position, the multimeter resumes the non-default function without requiring further user-input.
