Abstract
A measurement device for performing a measurement, the measurement device comprising a storage unit for storing acquired measurement data indicative of an order of storing the measurement data, wherein the measurement data is transmittable to a coupled controller device, and a processor which is adapted to, upon receipt of an availability request of the controller device related to measurement data stored in the storage device and available for transmission, provide the controller device with information in accordance with the availability request based on the order.
Claims11
A measurement device for performing a measurement, the measurement device comprising
- a storage unit for storing acquired measurement data indicative of an order of storing the measurement data, wherein the measurement data is transmittable to a coupled controller device;
- and
- a processor which is adapted to, upon receipt of an availability request of the controller device related to measurement data stored in the storage device and available for transmission, provide the controller device with information in accordance with the availability request based on the order.
A controller device for controlling a coupled measurement device for performing a measurement, the controller device comprising
- a receiving unit for receiving measurement data transmitted from the measurement device;
- a transmission interruption detection unit for detecting an interruption during the transmission of measurement data from the measurement device;
- an availability request unit which is adapted to, in case of detection of an interruption by the transmission interruption detection unit, transmit an availability request to the measurement device requesting information about measurement data available for transmission.
A network system, comprising
- a measurement device for performing a measurement, the measurement device comprising
- a storage unit for storing acquired measurement data indicative of an order of storing the measurement data, wherein the measurement data is transmittable to a coupled controller device,
- a processor which is adapted to, upon receipt of an availability request of the controller device related to measurement data stored in the storage device and available for transmission, provide the controller device with information in accordance with the availability request based on the order;
- and
- a controller device for controlling the measurement device coupled to the controller device, the controller device comprising
- a receiving unit for receiving measurement data transmitted from the measurement device;
- a transmission interruption detection unit for detecting an interruption during the transmission of measurement data from the measurement device;
- an availability request unit which is adapted to, in case of detection of an interruption by the transmission interruption detection unit, transmit an availability request to the measurement device requesting information about measurement data available for transmission.
A method of operating a measurement device capable of performing a measurement, the method comprising
- storing acquired measurement data indicative of an order of storing the measurement data, wherein the measurement data is transmittable to a coupled controller device;
- upon receiving an availability request of the controller device related to stored measurement data available for transmission, providing the controller device with information in accordance with the availability request based on the order.
A computer-readable medium, in which a computer program of operating a measurement device is stored, or a program element of operating a measurement device, which computer program or program element, when being executed by a processor, is adapted to control or carry out the method of
- storing acquired measurement data indicative of an order of storing the measurement data, wherein the measurement data is transmittable to a coupled controller device;
- upon receiving an availability request of the controller device related to stored measurement data available for transmission, providing the controller device with information in accordance with the availability request based on the order.
