  • Method for the transmission of measured data from a measuring computer to a control computer in a measuring system
    Patent number: 8499068
    Abstract: A method for transmitting measured information from a measuring computer to a control computer of a measuring system, the control and measuring computers being interconnected via a telecommunications network, includes combining measured data into characteristic values having a lower volume than the measured data. The characteristic values are transmitted from the measuring computer to the control computer.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for the output of status data
    Patent number: 7657621
    Abstract: A method for automatically indicating status information of a measuring system via an output device includes assigning status information to respective status ranges according to at least one predetermined condition, the status ranges being limited by at least one threshold value. The status ranges are individually outputted. The status information is automatically updated at a predetermined time interval.

  • Method for temporal synchronisation of at least two measuring computers cooperating over a telecommunication network such as internet, intranet or similar
    Patent number: 7542537
    Abstract: A method for time synchronization of a number of measuring computers cooperating over a telecommunications network includes providing a number of time sources associated with one of the measuring computers. Each of the time sources has a different accuracy and can provide a time stamp. Using the first measuring computer, one of the time sources is selected as a function of the accuracy of the time source.

  • Method for temporal synchronisation of at least two measuring computers cooperating over a telecommunication network such as internet, intranet or similar
    Publication number: 20050198240
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for temporal synchronisation of at least two measuring computers (28, 36, 46), cooperating over a telecommunication network (10) such as internet, intranet or similar in which a highly accurate timestamp is required for each measurement process. The invention is characterised in that each measuring computer (28, 36, 46) is provided with several time sources with varying accuracy for reading off the timestamp from a time source and the selection of the time source by the measuring computer (28, 36, 46) is carried out depending an the accuracy of the time source.
