    Abstract: A test and measurement instrument includes an input configured to receive a signal for testing, an acquisition processor configured to generate an acquisition from the received signal, store the acquisition in an acquisition memory, and copy the acquisition to a data store, and an acquisition evaluator configured to compare the acquisition in the data store to one or more criteria, and identify whether the compared acquisition meets the one or more criteria. When the selected acquisition meets the one or more criteria, the selected acquisition may be stored in a secondary memory of the instrument as a curated or selected history of measurements. After storing the selected acquisition in the secondary memory, the stored, selected acquisitions may be copied to a separate storage device as a storage file.

    Abstract: A test and measurement instrument and method are disclosed. The test and measurement instrument includes a display having a time domain graticule and a frequency domain graticule. A processor is configured to sample an input signal to generate a time domain waveform for display in the time domain graticule. The processor is also configured to generate a frequency domain waveform for display in the frequency domain graticule, the frequency domain waveform being correlated to a selected time period of the time domain graticule. The processor is also configured to generate a spectrum time indicator configured to graphically illustrate a location and the selected time period of the time domain graticule with respect to the frequency domain waveform.

    Abstract: A test and measurement instrument having an input configured to acquire waveforms from a device under test, a memory configured to store the acquired waveforms, a user input configured to receive a selection, and one or more processors. The one or more processors can render on a display the acquired waveforms, receive the selection from the user input indicating a filter criterium, such as a region of interest in the displayed acquired waveforms, determine which waveforms of the acquired waveforms are within the region of interest, and render only waveforms associated with the region of interest on the display.

    Abstract: A locking foldable foot includes a mounting plate, a first member, and a second member. The proximal end of the first member is attached to the mounting plate at a pivot. The second member is coupled to the first member and is structured to move parallel to the first member. The proximal end of the second member is structured to be capable of engaging the mounting plate to prevent rotation of the first and second members about the pivot. A test and measurement instrument includes the locking foldable foot. A method of preventing unintentional closure of a foldable foot on a test and measurement instrument includes locking the foldable foot in an open position in response to the weight of the test and measurement instrument being applied to the foldable foot.
