recording or playback apparatus using mechanically marked tape, e.g. punched paper tape, or using unit records, e.g. punched or magnetically marked cards G06K; transferring data from one type of record carrier to another G06K1/18; circuits for coupling output of reproducer to radio receiver H04B1/20; gramophone pick-ups or like acoustic electromechanical transducers or circuits therefor H04R) ## Abstract A recorder includes a file saving processor configured to record measurement data in a first file in time series, to temporarily store image data with information for associating the image data with the measurement data that is regarded as being received at the same time, to record image data corresponding to a point in time when a trigger is generated and also a given number of image data before the trigger is generated and a given number of image data after the trigger is generated, in the temporarily stored image data, in a second file, to create a third file in which the measurement data recorded in the first file and the image data recorded in the second file are associated with each other, and to associate the first file, the second file, and the third file with each other to save the associated files. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A recorder which receives measurement data and image data, comprising: a file saving processor configured to: record the measurement data in a first file in time series; temporarily store the image data with information for associating the image data with the measurement data that is regarded as being received at the same time; record, in a second file, image data corresponding to a point in time when a trigger is generated, and also a given number of image data before the trigger is generated and a given number of image data after the trigger is generated; create a third file in which the measurement data recorded in the first file and the image data recorded in the second file are associated with each other; and associate the first file, the second file, and the third file with each other to save the associated files. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The recorder according to claim 1, further comprising: a display processor configured to control a display device to display a waveform of measurement data which is being received, wherein the display processor is configured to control the display device to additionally display a mark on the measurement data with which the temporarily stored image data is associated. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The recorder according to claim 2, wherein when a selection of the mark is received, the display processor controls the display device to display image data that is associated with measurement data corresponding to the selected mark. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The recorder according to claim 1, further comprising: a reproduction processor configured to control a display device to display a waveform of the measurement data recorded in the first file, wherein the reproduction processor is configured to control the display device to additionally display a mark on the measurement data with which the image data recorded in the second file is associated. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The recorder according to claim 4, wherein when a selection of the mark is received, the reproduction processor controls the display device to display image data that is associated with measurement data corresponding to the selected mark. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The recorder according to claim 1, wherein the file saving processor is configured to archive the first file, the second file, and the third file in one file to associate the files with each other. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The recorder according to claim 1, wherein the file saving processor is configured to record contents of the first file, the second file, and the third file in one file to associate the files with each other. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The recorder according to claim 1, wherein the trigger is generation of an alarm which is caused by the received measurement data. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The recorder according to claim 1, wherein the trigger is based on a user's operation. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The recorder according to claim 9, wherein the user's operation is a selection for a waveform which is being displayed, and wherein the file saving processor is configured to regard a trigger as being generated at a time when measurement data to be selected in the waveform is received. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The recorder according to claim 1, wherein the temporarily stored image data is stored in a FIFO format.
