主权项

1. A method for operating a measurement instrument including a touchscreen and an alternate operation device, the method comprising:
enlarging at least one display region on a display device of the measurement instrument; defining at least two enlargeable display regions; distinguishing a touchscreen touch from an operation of the alternate operation device for selecting one of the at least two enlargeable display regions; evaluating the touchscreen touch to determine a touchscreen signal; assigning a touchscreen signal obtained in this manner to an enlargeable display region to be enlarged; and enlarging the enlargeable display region to be enlarged, wherein a type of enlargement is individually specified for each enlargeable display region; wherein the type of enlargement is determined a priori dependent upon size and/or shape and/or orientation and/or position of the enlargeable display region to be enlarged; wherein the type of enlargement includes a variation of geometric parameters of the enlargeable display region and a simultaneous variation of at least one of a font, a font size, a character spacing, and a line spacing of a text element of the enlargeable display region independently from one another, and independently from the variation of the geometric parameters of the enlargeable display region; and wherein enlarging of the enlargeable display region is only triggered if the enlargeable display region is selected via the touchscreen touch as a virtual operating element instead of via the alternate operation device.
