Abstract
A measuring device comprises an interface, adapted to acquire a measuring signal, a triggering unit, adapted to determine at least one condition of the measuring signal based on an initial triggering condition, and a storage unit adapted to store data words, comprising changes of the at least one condition of the measuring signal and instances in time at which the changes of the at least one condition occur. Moreover, the measuring device comprises a parameter determination unit, adapted to determine at least one parameter from the data words and a parameter histogram unit, adapted to determine a parameter histogram of the at least one parameter.
Claims14
A measuring device with automated trigger function, comprising:
- a processor;
- an interface, configured to acquire a measuring signal,
- a triggering unit, configured to, upon execution by the processor, determine at least one condition of the measuring signal based on an initial triggering condition,
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, configured to upon execution by the processor, store data words, comprising changes of the at least one condition of the measuring signal, and instants in time at which the changes of the at least one condition occur,
- a parameter determination unit, configured to, upon execution by the processor, determine at least one parameter from the data words,
- a parameter histogram unit, configured to upon execution by the processor, determine:
- a parameter histogram of the at least one parameter, and
- a separate parameter histogram for each parameter of the at least one parameter that allows selection of at least one peak of one or more peaks in order for the triggering unit to perform the triggering on a section of the measuring signal corresponding to a selected peak.
A method, comprising:
- acquiring a measuring signal,
- determining at least one condition of the measuring signal based on an initial triggering condition,
- storing data words, comprising changes of the at least one condition of the measuring signal, and instants in time at which the changes of the at least one condition occur,
- determining at least one parameter from the data words,
- determining a parameter histogram of the at least one parameter, and
- determining a separate parameter histogram for each parameter of the at least one parameter that allows selection of at least one peak in order to perform the triggering on a section of the measuring signal corresponding to a selected peak.
