摘要： Apparatus and methods are provided to allow multiple, possibly overlapping, regions of interest within a frequency spectrum to be defined, and managed. Each of these regions of interest may be selected for further testing or identification. Unselected regions are allowed to collapse into narrow bars so as not to interfere with the selected region. Multiple rows are provided to allow for the definition and selection of overlapping regions of interest. Furthermore, in some embodiments aid is provided for identifying the signal type by providing a list of signal type candidates based upon such parameters as region of interest bandwidth, region of interest center frequency and geographic location.

摘要： A method of attaching measurement data to an area map on the display of a test instrument includes importing a map for display covering a desired spatial region. Appropriate points of interest are overlaid on the map. A user selects measurement data to be attached to the map and, upon selection such as by “tapping” a touch sensitive screen, a measurement icon is positioned on the map where the selected measurement data was acquired. A thumbnail of the selected measurement data is overlaid on the measurement icon to show both the type of measurement and actual measurement results. Also indicia of quality/strength for the measured signal may be tagged to the measurement icon, such as by changing the color of the border of the measurement icon accordingly. A direction arrow may also be associated with the measurement icon to indicate an orientation of the test instrument when the measurement data was selected.

摘要： Automatic generation of a frequency domain mask is achieved by drawing a reduced waveform representing frequency domain data for an input signal as a pixel map. The reduced waveform is blurred by applying a user selected frequency offset, and from the blurred waveform data points are selected to generate upper and lower limits. The selected upper limit data points form an upper limit mask and the lower limit data points form a lower limit mask. When the upper and lower limit data masks are combined and translated back to frequency/amplitude units from the pixel map, they form an envelope mask.

摘要： A simple, integrated control for pan and zoom of a display of data represented by a very long data record is in the form of a control knob having an outer ring for controlling pan and an inner knob for controlling a zoom factor. A zoom function is turned ON either by turning the inner knob (setting the zoom factor to a default value) or by (i) pressing an adjacent zoom or pan button or (ii) turning the outer ring (setting the zoom factor to a prior value when the zoom function was turned OFF). The zoom function may be turned OFF by turning the inner knob to set the zoom factor to 1× or by pressing the zoom button. The outer ring has individual positions divided into two groups: one group for controlling pan rate within a zoom window displaying a portion of the very long data record defined by a zoom box within a main window displaying the very long data record; and the other group for controlling pan rate of the zoom box within the main window for rapid movement from one end of the record to another.

摘要： A block diagram editor system and method is implemented in a computer workstation that includes a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) and a mouse, graphics and windowing software, and an external communications interface for test instruments. The computer is programmed for constructing, interconnecting and displaying block diagrams of functional elements on the CRT. From prestored routines for each functional element, the software assembles and executes a program that emulates the functional operations of each element and transfers data from output from each element in turn to an input of a succeeding block, as determined by the block diagram configuration. The block functions include signal generating and analysis functions, and functions for control of various types of test instruments, which can be interactively controlled through the CRT and mouse. The computer converts desired outputs of the instruments into control settings and receives, analyzes and displays data from the instruments. Blocks can also be grouped into macroblocks.
