A client/server arrangement which allows measurement instruments to transmit measurement data to a client in lieu of image data. Measurement data is preferably raw digitized data which has been acquired from a signal source. The transmission of measurement data via the client/server arrangement results in the transmission of much less data over a network, and results in the faster transmission of data. Given the greater and faster resources that a client such as a personal computer or workstation might have, the client will often be able to generate and update a waveform display faster than the measurement instrument. The client can also generate alternate and more complex displays which the measurement instrument is unable to generate, including three-dimensional displays such as waterfall and spectrogram displays. Furthermore, the client can generate multiple displays from the same measurement data, and different clients can generate different displays.
