Abstract: The present disclosure provides a measurement application device, comprising a signal interface that is configured to receive a signal that comprises at least two characterizing signal levels, a signal analyzer that is coupled to the signal interface and that is configured to analyze the received signal to determine individual sub-diagrams for the received signal, wherein each one of the sub-diagrams comprises a predetermined diagram type, a diagram processor coupled to the signal analyzer and a display, and arranges the sub-diagrams in a diagram arrangement where each one of the sub-diagrams is assigned a predetermined position in the diagram arrangement, and to control the display to display at least one of the sub-diagrams, and a user interface that receives user input with regard to the diagram arrangement where the diagram processor controls the displaying of the diagram arrangement by the display according to the user input.

Abstract: A symbol rate determination method for determining a symbol rate of an input signal is disclosed. The method comprises: receiving the input signal; determining respective pulse widths of pulses contained in the input signal; allocating the pulse widths to groups based on a magnitude of the respective pulse widths; determining a group pulse width for each of the groups, the group pulse width being representative of the pulse widths contained in the respective group; and determining the symbol rate based on the determined group pulse widths. Moreover, a measurement instrument for determining a symbol rate of an input signal is disclosed.
