In at least one embodiment, a handheld measurement system generates a measurement image derived from measurement data that is generated and/or received by the handheld measurement system. The handheld measurement system also generates a plurality of option images that each correspond to a particular selectable option. A display screen, which may be a touch screen, simultaneously displays the measurement image and the option images. The measurement device modifies the measurement image and/or the option images in response to received option image selections.

Handheld measurement system with selectable options

In at least one embodiment, a mobile measurement system includes a handheld device, a measurement device, and an optical sensing device. The measurement device and the optical sensing device are communicatively coupled to the handheld device. The handheld device receives measurement data that comprises at least one measured electrical parameter corresponding to a physical property of an external system. The measurement device generates measurement data that corresponds to a period of time. The measurement device communicates the generated measurement data to the handheld device. The optical sensing device generates optical data corresponding to an interface of the measurement device and the external system where the measurement data is being generated. The generated optical data corresponds to a particular time within the measurement period of time. The mobile measurement system associates and stores the generated optical data for the particular time with measurement data corresponding to the period of time.

Measurement system with image capture capabilities

In at least one embodiment, a handheld measurement system for receiving measurement data. The handheld measurement system generates a measurement image derived from the received measurement data. The handheld measurement system also generates a plurality of option images that each correspond to a particular option. A touch screen is coupled to the measurement device, and the touch screen displays the measurement image and the option images. The displayed option images are selectable, and the measurement device is configured to modify the measurement image in response to a selection.

A method of automatically binding first and second devices for RF communication is disclosed. One step of the method involves establishing a secure, non-RF communication mode between the first and second devices. According to another step, first and second communication addresses respectively identifying the first and second devices are exchanged in the secure, non-RF communication mode such that the first and second devices will recognize each other as communication partners. The secure, non-RF communication mode is then terminated and an RF communication mode is established between the first and second devices as a first bound pair.

Digital multimeter having remote display with automatic communication binding

An electrical test instrument comprising a base unit having a first communication address. A remote display unit separate from the base unit and having a second communication address is also provided. Communication circuitry is operative to provide electrical communication in a first RF mode between the base unit and the remote display unit as a bound communication pair based on the first and second communication addresses. The communication circuitry is further operative to operate selectively in a second secure communication mode. The first and second communication addresses are exchanged in the second secure communication mode to establish the bound communication pair for subsequent communication in the first RF mode. In some exemplary embodiments, the second communication mode is an optical communication mode (e.g., an IR communication mode).
