Measuring instrument programmable interface conversion system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses a measuring instrument programmable interface conversion system which comprises a programmable host, a slave control host, a master control module, a power supply module for supplying power to the master control module, and a master programmable interface module and a slave programmable interface module which are connected with the master control module. The master programmable interface module comprises a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface, a master programmable conversion module and a master programmable interface; and the slave programmable interface module comprises a USB interface, a slave programmable conversion module and a slave programmable interface. According to the measuring instrument programmable interface conversion system disclosed by the invention, various mainstream programmable interfaces are converted into an internal uniform USB bus, and protocol conversion is carried out by an embedded core module, so that conversion between the random mainstream programmable interfaces is achieved, and a Bluetooth data transmission function can be provided for expansion of a measuring instrument.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of instrument program control, in particular to a measuring instrument program control interface conversion system and method. Background technique [0002] At present, with the advent of the wave of mobile Internet, in the field of test and measurement instruments, it has become a development trend in the test and measurement field to interconnect various instruments through specific interfaces to form a comprehensive test system. However, traditional desktop measuring instruments have many program-controlled interfaces, and users only use one of them, which causes waste to manufacturers; handheld or portable measuring instruments generally only provide a single program-controlled interface, which often does not match the interface required by users; many measuring instruments require wireless Communication function, but the instrument itself does not provide a wireless program control interface. [0003] With the i...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In addition, mobile terminal devices such as tablet computers and smart phones have developed rapidly in recent years. Many instrumentation users want to wirelessly control various measuring instruments through mobile devices to solve problems such as poor measurement site environments or unsatisfactory measurement locations. However, mobile devices and various The interfaces of different instruments often do not match, and the vast majority of measuring instruments do not provide wireless data transmission interfaces, and the traditional program-controlled function library cannot easily support embedded operations such as Android, iOS, and windowsCE.

This creates a major bottleneck in the rollout and implementation of test and measurement on-site or mobile labs

[0005] At present, the domestic and foreign instrument interconnection schemes all provide a single connector for two types of interface conversion, and there is no comprehensive intelligent product specifically for the mutual conversion of multiple interfaces of measuring instruments.

The existing technology generally only provides a single dual-interface conversion. When multiple measuring instruments form a test system, sometimes a variety of similar dual-interface conversion devices are required, and the underlying data communication protocols of various instruments are also different. Inconvenient operation, complex configuration process, increased use cost and waste of resources
