Abstract
Techniques for use in sweep synchronization test equipment include receiving a simulation setting and displaying a simulated result based on the simulation setting and previously-measured data. The equipment is switched to a measurement mode in response to user activity, and the simulation setting is used as a control setting. A new measurement is performed based on the control setting. The displayed simulated result is updated based on data obtained from the new measurement.
Claims22
A method for use in sweep synchronization test equipment, the method comprising:
- receiving a simulation setting;
- displaying a simulated result based on the simulation setting and previously-measured data;
- switching to a measurement mode in response to user activity, and using the simulation setting as a control setting only after switching to the measurement mode;
- performing a new measurement based on the control setting;
- and
- updating the displayed simulated result based on data obtained from the new measurement.
An article comprising a computer-readable medium which stores computer-executable instructions for causing a computer system to:
- display, in response to receiving a simulation setting, a simulated result based on the simulation setting and previously-measured data;
- switch to a measurement made in response to user activity, and use the simulation setting as a control setting only after switching to the measurement mode;
- perform a new measurement based on the control setting;
- and
- update the displayed simulated result based on data obtained from the new measurement.
Test equipment comprising:
- first means for entering a simulation setting;
- second means for causing the test equipment to switch between a simulation mode to a measurement mode;
- circuitry for making a measurement;
- a display;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- display on the display, in response to receiving a simulation setting through the first means, a simulated result based on the simulation setting and previously-measured data;
- switch to the measurement mode, in response to activation of the second means, and use the simulation setting as a control setting only after switching to the measurement mode;
- perform a new measurement based on the control setting using the circuitry;
- and
- update the simulated result on the display based on data obtained from the new measurement.
