  • Patent number: 9860356
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for updating software of a measuring device in a RF sensitive environment is provided, the method comprising: providing a smart computer having a radio operation mode for wireless communication and providing a measuring device that is RF sensitive and that comprises software for the operation of the measuring device; downloading software update data from a software server by wireless coupling the smart computer to the software server via the Internet; decoupling the smart computer from the Internet after the software update data is downloaded; updating the software of the measuring device by directly connecting the smart computer to the measuring device and by uploading the software update data from the smart computer to the connected measuring device. The present invention also relates to a smart computer and to a computer readable program product.

  • Patent number: 6877129
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring the receiver-side bit error rate of the transmission path of a DVB transmission system in which the data stream to be transmitted is channel-coded on the transmitter side by a Reed-Solomon coder and on the receiver side channel-decoder by a corresponding Reed-Solomon decoder. According to the method, a test data stream is fed in on the transmitter side and the Reed-Solomon coder is switched off so that the receiver-side decoder recognizes a data stream with non-correctable errors and allows the same to reach the output uncorrected. The bit error rate is then determined from the uncorrected test data stream.
