Methods, Systems, and Apparatus For Multi-Domain Markers

A display method, said method comprising:

• a) displaying a first visual representation on a display, wherein said first visual representation is based on a first data set in a measurement data record;
• b) displaying a second visual representation on said display, wherein said second visual representation is based on a second data set in said measurement data record;
• c) receiving a position of a first-visual-representation display marker associated with said first visual representation;
• and
• d) determining a correlated position of a second-visual-representation display marker associated with said second visual representation;
• e) wherein said determining comprises comparing the data in said measurement record corresponding to said position of said first-visual-representation display marker with the data in said second data set.

A display apparatus, said apparatus comprising:

• a) a display;
• b) a storage medium for storing a measurement data record;
• c) a first visual representation displayed on said display, wherein said first visual representation is a spectrogram;
• d) a second visual representation displayed on said display, wherein said second visual representation is a frequency-domain visual representation, wherein said frequency-domain visual representation is based on a first time frame;
• e) a third visual representation displayed on said display, wherein said third visual representation is a time-domain visual representation;
• and
• f) a marker correlator, wherein said marker correlator effectuates display of a second-visual-representation display marker in said second visual representation at a placement frequency and display of a third-visual-representation display marker in said third visual representation at a first time corresponding to a placement time frame when a first-visual-representation display marker is placed in said first-visual representation at a placement location, wherein said placement location comprises said placement frequency and said placement time frame.

A method for managing instrument data, said method comprising:

• a) receiving a marker definition identified by a marker identification (ID), said definition comprising a first-domain value and a second-domain value, wherein said first-domain value is associated with a first data set and said second-domain value is associated with a second data set;
• b) accessing said first data set and finding a first-range value associated with said first-domain value;
• c) accessing said second data set and finding a second-range value associated with said second-domain value;
• d) providing access to said first-range value via said marker ID;
• and
• e) providing access to said second-range value via said marker ID.
