Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If measurement devices perform comprehensive measurements of electric circuitry, then measurement completeness is improved, but measurement time and efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The measurement process is segmented into multiple stages: initial automated parameter setting based on trace analysis, followed by optional manual adjustments. The system divides the measurement task into automatic analysis (using analyzing unit 12) and user intervention (via control unit 14) components, allowing comprehensive measurements to be performed efficiently through automated initial processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary automated analysis of the measurement trace to automatically set target measurement parameters before final measurement execution. The analyzing unit 12 processes the trace in advance to determine optimal parameters, reducing the need for time-consuming manual configuration while ensuring measurement completeness.
2Speed
If measurement devices automatically set parameters without user input, then operation speed is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback through the display 11 showing the measurement trace and automatically derived parameters. The analyzing unit 12 continuously analyzes the trace and adjusts target parameters based on the actual measurement data, creating a closed-loop system that maintains both speed and precision through data-driven parameter optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The measurement device performs self-service by automatically analyzing its own measurement trace and setting appropriate parameters without requiring user intervention. The analyzing unit 12 processes the trace data and autonomously determines target parameters, enabling rapid setup while maintaining precision through algorithmic optimization based on actual measurements.
3Loss of information
If measurement devices display all measurement data, then information completeness is improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and displays only the essential measurement trace information rather than all raw data. The display 11 presents a processed representation of the trace with key parameters automatically derived and highlighted, separating critical information from redundant data to simplify the interface while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The display 11 serves multiple functions: showing the measurement trace, displaying automatically derived parameters, indicating measurement status, and providing guidance for manual adjustments. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate controls and displays, simplifying the overall interface while preserving comprehensive information access.
