Abstract
The present invention relates to a test or measurement instrument, comprising a test unit, a memory, a display, a network interface and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to generate a machine-readable representation of data such as a QR code which comprises encoded address information of the data file stored in the memory. The processing unit is further configured to display the generated QR code on the display for enabling an external network device to download the stored data file via the network interface after having scanned the displayed QR code and decoded the address information encoded therein. The invention further relates to a method for enabling a network device to downloaded data stored in a test or measurement instrument.
Claims18
A test or measurement instrument, the test or measurement instrument comprising:
- a test unit configured to test a device under test and further configured to provide at least one data file which is derived front the testing of the device under test,
- a memory configured to store the at least one data file;
- a display configured to display a machine-readable representation of data;
- a network interface for connecting the test or measurement instrument to another network device;
- and
- a processing unit connected to the display, the memory and the network interface, wherein the processing unit is configured to generate a machine-readable representation of data which comprises encoded address information of the data file stored in the memory and wherein the processing unit is further configured to display the generated machine-readable representation of data on the display for enabling the network device to download the stored data file via the network interface after having scanned the displayed machine-readable representation of data and decoded the address information.
A method for enabling a network device or an external web service to downloaded data stored in a test or measurement instrument, the method comprising the steps of:
- testing a device under:
- providing at least one data file which is derived from the testing of the device under test, storing the at least one data file in the test or measurement instrument;
- generating a machine-readable representation of data which comprises encoded address information of the stored data file;
- displaying the generated machine-readable representation of data on a display of the test or measurement instrument;
- scanning the displayed machine-readable representation of data using a separate optical scanning device;
- decoding the address information contained in the scanned machine-readable representation of data by the scanning device;
- and
- downloading the stored data file from the test or measurement instrument via a network interface.
