  • Multi-instrument behavior synchronization using jobs and milestones
    Patent number: 11797356
    Abstract: A method of synchronizing tasks in a test and measurement system, includes receiving, at a client in the system, a task input, receiving, at a job manager running on a first device processor in the system, a call from the client to create a job associated with the task, returning to the client an action containing at least one job code block associated with the job, receiving a call for the action, executing the at least one job code block by at least one processor in the system, determining that the job has completed, and completing the task.
    Type: Grant

  • Automatic detection of logical path segments in a measurement population
    Patent number: 11237190
    Abstract: A test and measurement instrument, including a memory configured to store a waveform data record; one or more processors, and a display. The one or more processors are configured to receive the waveform data record, determine a measurement value and location for a plurality of occurrences of a measurement event in the waveform data record, detect one or more logical path segments in the plurality of occurrences, and generating a visual representation of each measurement value and overlaying each of the visual representations of each measurement value. The visual representations of each measurement value and/or the one or more logical path segments may be displayed on the display.
