Solution Overview

Problem

Current electronic measurement instruments require users to navigate through multiple hierarchical menus to set test parameters, leading to complex, time-consuming, and inefficient signal analysis operations.

Innovation Solution

A signal analysis interaction method that displays waveforms on a screen, allows users to select areas using a control operation, determines a channel list based on the selected area, and automatically matches function options for execution, thereby simplifying the analysis process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If users navigate through multiple hierarchical menus to set test parameters, then parameter setting completeness is improved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter setting completenessVSAvoidoperation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically identifies waveforms in the drawn area and determines the channel list without requiring users to manually navigate through hierarchical menus. The apparatus performs self-service by autonomously analyzing the selected area and presenting relevant function options, thereby reducing operation complexity while maintaining parameter setting completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of the drawn area to identify waveforms and determine the channel list before the user selects function options. This preliminary action prepares the relevant information in advance, so when the user draws an area, the system immediately presents the appropriate function options without requiring sequential menu navigation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If users navigate through multiple hierarchical menus to set test parameters, then parameter setting completeness is improved, but analysis time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter setting completenessVSAvoidsignal analysis efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically identifies waveforms and determines channel lists without requiring users to sequentially select options from hierarchical menus. This self-service approach significantly reduces the time required for signal analysis while ensuring that all necessary parameters are properly configured based on the selected area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows users to skip the tedious hierarchical menu navigation by directly drawing an area on the waveform display. The system then rapidly processes the selected area to identify waveforms and present function options, effectively rushing through the parameter setting process while maintaining completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #21Skipping (Rushing through)

3Ease of operation

If the system automatically matches function options according to channel list, then operational convenience is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic matching of function options to the determined channel list through self-service processing. The apparatus analyzes the selected channels and autonomously presents relevant function options without requiring manual configuration, thereby improving operational convenience while managing system complexity through automated algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
