US 2015/0309110 A1 · MEASURING DEVICE WITH FUNCTIONAL UNITS CONTROLLABLE VIA A BLOCK DIAGRAM

Abstract

A measuring device comprises several functional units which may be connected to each other in various combinations, a control device which determines the connection and functions of the functional unites, and optical display device. The functional units are symbolized by function blocks which may be represented on the display device and graphically connected by connection elements. The control device controls the display device so that the functional blocks are graphically connected to each other correspondingly to the actual connection of the functional units by the connection elements. Specific configuration settings and/or specific functions of a functional unit are directly selectable and/or configurable on the visual display device through shortening links of the configuration setting. Alternatively panel images of the measuring device are displayed on the displaying device and wherein the visual display device indicates a selected connector.
