Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for measurement devices and methods to obtain measurements of various physical parameters in an integrated manner. For example, according to one or more embodiments, a measurement device includes a housing configured to be hand-held by a user; a light sensor configured to sense light and generate a signal in response; a logic device configured to process the signal from the light sensor to determine an intensity of the light, the logic device being further configured to receive and process another signal to determine a magnitude of a physical parameter associated with an external article; and a display configured to present information representing the intensity of the light and the magnitude of the physical parameter. Such a measurement device may be conveniently carried and utilized by electricians or other users, for example, to perform lighting installation or retrofitting without a need for multiple different devices.
