  • Publication number: 20070203645
    Abstract: A method of attaching measurement data to an area map on the display of a test instrument includes importing a map for display covering a desired spatial region. Appropriate points of interest are overlaid on the map. A user selects measurement data to be attached to the map and, upon selection such as by “tapping” a touch sensitive screen, a measurement icon is positioned on the map where the selected measurement data was acquired. A thumbnail of the selected measurement data is overlaid on the measurement icon to show both the type of measurement and actual measurement results. Also indicia of quality/strength for the measured signal may be tagged to the measurement icon, such as by changing the color of the border of the measurement icon accordingly. A direction arrow may also be associated with the measurement icon to indicate an orientation of the test instrument when the measurement data was selected.
