MEASURING DEVICE WITH FUNCTIONAL UNITS CONTROLLABLE VIA A BLOCK DIAGRAM

摘要

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.

1. A measuring device comprising:
a plurality of functional units configured to be selectively connected to one another; a control module configured to set one or more of a configuration setting and at least one function of the functional units; and a display module configured to display a plurality of functional blocks graphically connected by means of connecting elements; and wherein the control module is further configured to control the display module to display the functional blocks graphically interconnected by the connecting elements in a manner that corresponds to a current configuration setting of the functional units; and wherein one or more of specific configuration settings and specific functions of a functional unit are one or more of directly selectable and directly configurable on the display module through shortening links of the configuration setting.
