Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the management of measured data by storing the measured data of a measuring point, and also, attribute data of the measuring point in a data recording part of the measuring instrument. CONSTITUTION:The measurement is executed in an arbitrary measuring point, and measured data is fetched to a control part (CPU) 4. Subsequently, attribute data related to its measuring point is read by an attribute data reading part 8 from an attribute data generating part 7, and fetched to the control part 4. Also, after the attribute data is read by the attribute data reading part 8, a trigger signal is outputted from a trigger circuit 6. Moreover, in accordance with the trigger signal outputted from the trigger circuit 6, the measured data and the attribute data fetched to the control part 4 are stored simultaneously in a data recording part 5. In such a state, after a series of measurements are finished, the measured data and the attribute data stored in the data recording part 5 are read out, displayed successively on a display part, and printed and recorded by a printer, etc.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a measuring device, and more particularly to recording attribute data relating to a measuring object in a digitized measuring device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of a conventional digitized measuring apparatus. In the figure, 1 is an input terminal for an analog measurement signal, and an A /
It is connected to the D converter 3. The measurement data converted into a digital signal by the A / D converter 3 is added to the data recording unit 5 such as a memory card or a floppy disk via the CPU 4 and stored. The measuring device is also provided with a display unit, a communication interface, and the like, which are not shown.

By the way, when such a measuring device is constructed as a portable measuring instrument, it is often the case that a large number of measuring objects are moved and measured. In particular, when used as a measuring instrument at a security site, a plurality of predesignated measurement locations are sequentially visited to record the measurement results.

[0004]

However, since the conventional measuring apparatus of this type is configured to store only the measurement data in the data recording unit 5, the recording of the attribute data relating to the measurement object such as the measurement location is performed. If it is necessary, the measurer must write it down in a memo etc. separately,
There is a problem that the management work of the measurement data becomes complicated, such as the management of the measurement data becomes impossible if the memo in which the attribute data is written and recorded is lost.

The present invention solves such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to realize a measuring device having excellent measuring workability, which can store the measured data of each measuring point and the attribute data of each measuring point. It is in.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve such a problem, the present invention provides a measurement device configured to store digitized measurement data in a data recording unit, the attribute of the measurement point. Attribute data generating means for outputting data, and attribute data reading means for reading the attribute data of the measurement points output from the attribute data generating means are provided, and the attribute data of the measurement points as well as the measurement data of the measurement points are provided in the data recording section. It is characterized by storing.

[0007]

The data recording section of the measuring device stores the measurement data of the measurement points and the attribute data of the measurement points. As a result, it is not necessary for the measurer to write and record the attribute data of the measurement points as in the conventional case, and the management of the measurement data becomes easy,
The workability of measurement is greatly improved.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration explanatory view of an embodiment of the present invention.
The same reference numerals are given to the parts common to the above. In the figure, 6 is a trigger circuit, which outputs a trigger signal for timing data recording in the data recording section 5. Reference numeral 7 is an attribute data generation unit that outputs the attribute data of the measurement points, and uses, for example, a bar code. The barcode may be affixed to each measurement point with a label printed with the attribute data unique to the measurement point such as the measurement location information and signal type information of the measurement target coded for each measurement point. Unique attribute data may be coded for each and listed on a common sheet. Reference numeral 8 is an attribute data reading unit for reading the attribute data of the measurement points of the attribute data generating unit. When a bar code is used as the attribute data generating unit 7, a bar code reader is used.

An example of the operation of such a configuration will be described. First, measurement is performed at an arbitrary measurement point, and the control unit (C
(PU) 4 captures measurement data. Next, the attribute data relating to the measurement point is read from the attribute data generating section 7 by the attribute data reading section 8 and taken into the control section 4.

After the attribute data reading unit 8 reads the attribute data, the trigger circuit 6 outputs a trigger signal. According to the trigger signal output from the trigger circuit 6, the measurement data and the attribute data fetched by the control unit 4 are simultaneously stored in the data recording unit 5. Then, after the series of measurements is completed, the measurement data and the attribute data stored in the data recording unit 5 are read out,
The data is sequentially displayed on a display unit (not shown) or is printed and recorded by a printer or the like.

With this configuration, when reading the attribute data of each measurement point, the predetermined attribute data generator 7 need only be read by the attribute data reader 8.
It eliminates the need for handwritten records as in the past and allows efficient measurement. Since the data recording unit 5 stores the measurement data and the attribute data at the same time for each measurement point, the measurement data for each measurement point can be efficiently managed. Here, it does not matter if the order is mixed with.

In the above embodiment, an example in which the attribute data at each measurement point is converted into a bar code has been described. However, for example, a magnetic coded one or an OCR for optically reading a character or the like is used.
And the like, and in this case, a magnetic code reader or an OCR reader may be used. Further, the measuring device can be applied to various physical quantity measuring devices such as voltage, current, power, resistance, insulation resistance, rotation, magnetic flux, temperature, humidity and pressure, regardless of electricity or machine.

[0013]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, it is possible to realize a measuring device having excellent measurement workability that can store the measurement data of each measurement point as well as the attribute data of each measurement point. It is effective for measuring devices of various physical quantities.
