Portable measurement application device, measurement application server, measurement application, method, and computer program product

A measurement application server, comprising:

• a server communication interface configured to receive at least one digital measurement signal from at least one portable measurement application device;
• a triggering unit coupled to the server communication interface, wherein the triggering unit is configured to detect triggering events in the received at least one digital measurement signal;
• and
• a data acquisition unit coupled to the server communication interface, and to the triggering unit, wherein the data acquisition unit is configured to store the at least one digital measurement signal based on the triggering events detected by the triggering unit.

A measurement application comprising:

• at least one portable measurement application device, each portable measurement application device comprising:
• at least one measurement port configured to acquire an analog measurement signal;
• an analog-to-digital converter for every measurement port, wherein the analog-to-digital converter is configured to convert the analog measurement signal acquired by the respective measurement port into a digital measurement signal;
• and
• a portable device communication interface coupled to each analog-to-digital converter, and configured to output the digital measurement signal of each analog-to-digital converter to a measurement application server;
• and
• a measurement application server, comprising:
• a server communication interface configured to receive at least one digital measurement signal from at least one portable measurement application device;
• a triggering unit coupled to the server communication interface, wherein the triggering unit is configured to detect triggering events in the received at least one digital measurement signal;
• and
• a data acquisition unit coupled to the server communication interface, and to the triggering unit, wherein the data acquisition unit is configured to store the at least one digital measurement signal based on the triggering events detected by the triggering unit.

A method for operating a measurement application, the method comprising:

• acquiring at least one analog measurement signal in a portable measurement application device;
• converting the at least one analog measurement signal into at least one respective digital measurement signal in the portable measurement application device, outputting the at least one digital measurement signal to a measurement application server;
• detecting triggering events in the at least one digital measurement signal in the measurement application server;
• and
• storing the at least one digital measurement signal based on the detected triggering events in the measurement application server or a data storage outside of the measurement application server.

A computer program product comprising computer readable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform the function of the measurement application server including the method of:

• acquiring at least one analog measurement signal in a portable measurement application device;
• converting the at least one analog measurement signal into at least one respective digital measurement signal in the portable measurement application device, outputting the at least one digital measurement signal to a measurement application server;
• detecting triggering events in the at least one digital measurement signal in the measurement application server;
• and
• storing the at least one digital measurement signal based on the detected triggering events in the measurement application server or a data storage outside of the measurement application server.
