  Similarly to the wired communication unit 15 of the measurement apparatus 1, the wired communication unit 25 includes a connection connector conforming to the USB standard, and the measurement apparatus is connected via the signal cable 3 (see FIG. 1) connected to the connection connector. 1 and various external devices (not shown) are connectable. The wired communication unit 25 transmits control data D1 to the measurement device 1 according to the control of the control unit 26 while being connected to the measurement device 1 via the signal cable 3, and the identification code transmitted from the measurement device 1. Data D0, display data D2, and display control data D4 are received and output to control unit 26.

  The control unit 26 is an example of a “portable terminal side control unit” and comprehensively controls the smartphone 2. Specifically, for example, when the identification code data D0 is transmitted from the measuring apparatus 1 according to the description of the measurement system program Dp, the control unit 26 displays data D2 associated with the identification code data D0. Is stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M). In addition, when the display data D2 associated with the identification code data D0 is not stored, the control unit 26 transmits control data D1 for starting transmission of the display data D2 to the measuring device 1. Furthermore, the control unit 26 stores the display data D2 transmitted from the measuring device 1 in accordance with the control data D1 in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M) in association with the identification code data D0. Further, the control unit 26 measures based on the display control data D4 received via the wireless communication unit 24 or the wired communication unit 25 and the display data D2 stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M). The processing screen 30b (monitor display unit 31) is displayed.

  In this case, the identification code data D0 stored in the measurement device 1 (memory 17) is an example of “first device identification code”, and is given to the measurement device 1 so that the measurement device 1 can be identified. A unique code is recorded. Note that, in the smartphone 2 (measurement system program Dp) in the measurement system 100 of the present example, as will be described later, the measurement device 1 is the same type as the measurement device 1 or the measurement device 1 is different in content of measurement processing. It is possible to display the results of measurement processing by other “measuring devices (for example, voltmeters, wattmeters, etc.)” (not shown). 1 apparatus identification code) is assigned and identification code data D0 is stored.

  The display data D2 is an example of “display data”, and includes various data for displaying the same monitor display unit 31 as the measurement processing screen 30a of the measurement apparatus 1 on the smartphone 2. Has been. Specifically, the display data D2 includes image data G01 to G22 (see FIG. 4; hereinafter, also referred to as “image data G” when not distinguished) and association data Dr (see FIG. 5). .

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the image data G01, G02,... G22 is composed of “image data” in which the images of the segments S1a, S1b,. In addition, in the image of each image data G in FIG. 3, a region filled with a halftone line (a region around an image imitating each “segment”) is a region displayed in “transparent color” when displayed on the monitor display unit 31. Represents.

  The association data Dr is the image display position (the coordinates shown in FIG. 5) on the display unit 23 when the monitor display unit 31 (measurement processing screen 30b) is displayed using the image of the image data G and the image of the image data G. P01 to P54: hereinafter referred to as “coordinate P” when not distinguished, and display position identification codes C01 to C54 given to the display position of the image (see FIG. 5; hereinafter, “display position identification code when not distinguished from each other). C ”) is associated with each other.

  In this case, the coordinates P01, P02,... P54 display the image of the image data G01 (image of the segment S1a), the image of the image data G02 (image of the segment S1b), and the image of the image data G22 (image of the segment SB3). Display positions to be displayed (display coordinates in the measurement processing screen 30b) are shown. In the display data D2 of this example, as an example, coordinates on the display unit 23 where the upper left corner in the image of each image data G is to be located (coordinates having the upper left corner in the display unit 23 as the origin) are coordinates. P is recorded in the association data Dr.

  Further, in this example in which the measurement processing screen 30a is displayed on the measurement device 1 and the monitor display unit 31 simulating the measurement processing screen 30a is displayed on the smartphone 2, the segments S1a to S4a are configured by “segments” having the same shape. The segments S1b to S4b are composed of “segments” having the same shape, the segments S1c to S4c are composed of “segments” having the same shape, the segments S1d to S4d are composed of “segments” having the same shape, and the segments S1e to S4e S4e is composed of “segments” of the same shape, segments S1f to S4f are composed of “segments” of the same shape, segments S1g to S4g are composed of “segments” of the same shape, and segments Sdp2 to Sdp4 are of the same shape “Segments” and segments SB1 to SB3 are the same It is composed of a "segment" shape.

  Accordingly, in the association data Dr of this example, as shown in FIG. 5, the same image data G01 (image data G of the image displayed at the coordinates P01) for displaying the segment S1a on the monitor display unit 31 is shared. The same shape is shared by sharing the image data G02 (the image data G of the image displayed at the coordinates P02) for displaying the segment S2a and the like on the monitor display unit 31 and displaying the segment S1b on the monitor display unit 31. The segment S2b and the like are displayed on the monitor display unit 31 and the image data G22 (image data G of the image displayed on the coordinates P52) for displaying the segment SB1 on the monitor display unit 31 is shared. SB2 and the like are described to be displayed on the monitor display unit 31. As a result, the display data D2 of this example is sufficiently smaller than the “display data” in which the same number of image data G as the number of segments S is recorded.

  Further, the display position identification codes C01, C02,... C54 are an identification code given to the display position of the coordinate P01, an identification code given to the display position of the coordinate P02, and an identification given to the display position of the coordinate P54. It is comprised with the code | symbol. In this example, in order to facilitate understanding of the invention, the “display position identification code” given to each “display position” is represented by “numbers in ascending order starting with [01]”. The “identification code” to be assigned is not limited to this, and any code can be assigned as long as it is “a code unique to each display position”.

  In addition, the measurement system program Dp installed in the smartphone 2 includes the above-described measurement apparatus 1, another measurement apparatus 1 of the same type as the measurement apparatus 1, and other “measurement apparatuses” whose measurement processing is different from the measurement apparatus 1. , Etc., and a procedure for processing to be commonly executed in each “measuring device” is described.

  Specifically, when the identification code data D0 is transmitted from the “measuring device” to the measurement system program Dp, the display data D2 associated with the identification code data D0 is stored in the main body memory 21 (or storage). Control for notifying that transmission of display data D2 is not required when display data D2 associated with identification code data D0 is stored. Processing for transmitting the data D1 to the “measuring device”, and when the display data D2 associated with the identification code data D0 is not stored, the control data D1 instructing the start of transmission of the display data D2 is represented by the “measuring device”. When the display data D2 is transmitted from the “measuring device”, the display data D2 is associated with the identification code data D0 and Based on the processing to be stored in the memory 21 (or storage memory M), the display data D2 stored in the main body memory 21 (or storage memory M) and the display control data D4 transmitted from the “measuring device”, The monitor display unit 31 is displayed by displaying the image of the image data G associated with the display position of the coordinate P at the coordinate P corresponding to the display position identification code C recorded in the display control data D4. An execution procedure of various processes such as a process to be displayed on the unit 23 is described.

  In this case, in the measurement system 100 of this example, as will be described later, the image data G of each display element (each segment S) constituting the monitor display unit 31 and the display position where the image of the image data G is to be displayed. Display data D2 including coordinates P and the like are transmitted from the measuring apparatus 1 to the smartphone 2. Therefore, the measurement system program Dp installed on the smartphone 2 in the measurement system 100 is different from the measurement system program installed on the smartphone of the measurement system disclosed by the applicant in the above patent document. The image data G for displaying each segment S of the display unit 31 and the data of the coordinates P of the display position where the image of the image data G is to be displayed are sufficiently larger than the conventional measurement system program. It is a small size. As an example, the measurement system program Dp can be downloaded from an arbitrary site on the Internet and used, or an installation optical disk can be provided as an accessory of the “measuring device”.

  In using the measurement system 100, first, the measurement system program Dp is installed in the smartphone 2. Since the installation work of the measurement system program Dp is the same as the “installation work of various programs on the smartphone”, detailed description thereof is omitted. Next, Bluetooth pairing is performed between the measuring device 1 and the smartphone 2. Since the pairing work is the same as the pairing work of various known Bluetooth devices, detailed description is omitted.

  At this time, in the measurement system 100 of the present example, as an example, the pairing operation as described above is completed, and wireless communication between the measurement device 1 and the smartphone 2 is possible. When the measurement system program Dp is started up, the wired communication unit 15 of the measurement device 1 and the wired communication unit 25 of the smartphone 2 are connected to each other by the signal cable 3 so that wired communication between the two is possible. In this state, when the measurement system program Dp is started in the smartphone 2, the control unit 16 of the measurement device 1 transmits the identification code data D0 to the smartphone 2 via the wireless communication unit 14 or the wired communication unit 15.

  In this case, in the present example in which the pairing operation is completed and wireless communication between the wireless communication units 14 and 24 is possible, the measurement device 1 is activated when the measurement system program Dp is activated on the smartphone 2. The identification code data D0 is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 14 to the smartphone 2. On the other hand, in the smartphone 2, when the identification code data D0 is received by the wireless communication unit 24 (an example of “when a reception start condition defined in advance in a state where communication with the measuring device is possible” is satisfied), the control unit 26 stores the identification code data D0 in the main body memory 21 (or storage memory M) in accordance with the description of the measurement system program Dp, and the display data D2 associated with the code of the stored identification code data D0. It is determined whether or not (an example of “display data capable of displaying at least one of setting display, operation state display, and measurement result display”) is stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M). To do.

  At this time, immediately after the Bluetooth pairing with the measuring apparatus 1 (as will be described later, the display of the measurement processing screen 30b including the monitor display unit 31 which is the same as the measurement processing screen 30a of the measuring apparatus 1 is displayed. In this example of the state of not performing), the display data D2 associated with the code of the identification code data D0 transmitted from the measurement device 1 (the monitor display unit 31 similar to the measurement processing screen 30a of the measurement device 1 is displayed) is displayed. Possible display data D2) is not stored in the main body memory 21 or the storage memory M. For this reason, the control unit 26 sends the control data D1 (an example of “transmission start signal”) instructing the start of transmission of the display data D2 from the wireless communication unit 24 to the measuring device 1.

  Accordingly, in the measuring apparatus 1, when the control data D1 is received by the wireless communication unit 14 (an example of “when a transmission start condition defined in advance in a state where communication with an external apparatus is possible” is satisfied). The control unit 16 starts the above “data transmission process”, reads the display data D2 from the memory 17, and transmits the display data D2 from the wireless communication unit 14 to the smartphone 2. In the smartphone 2, the control unit 26 associates the display data D <b> 2 received by the wireless communication unit 24 with the identification code data D <b> 0 transmitted from the measurement apparatus 1 immediately before according to the description of the measurement system program Dp. It is stored in the main body memory 21 (or storage memory M). Thereby, the smart phone 2 is ready to display the monitor display unit 31, and the measurement system 100 can be used. By performing such work prior to the actual measurement work, during the measurement work, communication between the measurement device 1 and the smartphone 2 (either wireless communication or wired communication) is performed as described later. It becomes possible to display the measurement result by the measuring device 1 on the smartphone 2 only by establishing.

  On the other hand, in order to perform the measurement process for the measurement object using the measurement system 100, as an example, the operation unit 12 of the measurement apparatus 1 is controlled to set the measurement process condition, and the clamp sensor unit 11a performs the measurement process. Clamp the measurement object. Next, when the start switch of the operation unit 12 is operated, the control unit 16 controls the measurement unit 11 in accordance with the set measurement conditions (operation conditions) to start the measurement process. The resistance value of the measurement object clamped by the unit 11 a is measured, and the measured value is output to the control unit 16.

  In response to this, the control unit 16 selects any one of the segments S based on the set measurement condition (operation condition), the operation state of the measurement apparatus 1, and the measurement value output from the measurement unit 11. Display control data D3 is generated by specifying which segment S is displayed and which segment S is not displayed. Further, the control unit 16 outputs the generated display control data D3 to the display unit 13, thereby setting the measurement conditions (operation conditions), the operation state of the measurement apparatus 1, and the measurement as shown in FIG. A measurement processing screen 30a showing the resistance value of the object is displayed.

  In this case, in the measurement system 100 of this example, as described above, the measurement processing screen 30b including the monitor display unit 31 similar to the measurement processing screen 30a displayed on the display unit 13 of the measurement apparatus 1 is displayed on the smartphone. 2 can be displayed on the display unit 23. Specifically, when the measurement processing screen 30b is displayed on the smartphone 2 (display unit 23), as an example, the operation unit 22 of the smartphone 2 is operated in a state where the measurement process by the measurement device 1 is continued. Thus, the wireless communication unit 24 is turned on (communicable state). Thereby, the wireless communication part 14 of the measuring apparatus 1 and the wireless communication part 24 of the smart phone 2 which were paired by the pairing operation mentioned above will be in the state which can mutually communicate. Next, the operation unit 22 is operated to start the measurement system program Dp.

  At this time, in the measurement apparatus 1, as described above, when the wireless communication between the wireless communication units 14 and 24 is enabled and the measurement system program Dp is started in the smartphone 2, the control unit 16 The identification code data D0 is transmitted to the smartphone 2 via the wireless communication unit 14. Further, in this example, the display data D2 transmitted from the measuring apparatus 1 after the pairing operation is stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M) in association with the identification code data D0 as described above. The control unit 26 of the smartphone 2 determines that the display data D2 associated with the transmitted identification code data D0 is stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M) (“one device identification” An example of “when display data associated with a code is stored in the portable terminal storage unit”). At this time, the control unit 26 transmits control data D1 (an example of “notification signal”) for notifying that transmission of the display data D2 is unnecessary to the measurement apparatus 1. As a result, an unnecessary “data transmission process” in which the same display data D2 is transmitted a plurality of times from the same measuring device 1 is avoided.

  Further, the control unit 26 controls the wireless communication unit 24 according to the measurement system program Dp to cause the measurement apparatus 1 to transmit control data D1 requesting the transmission start of the display control data D4. On the other hand, in the measurement apparatus 1, when the control data D1 requesting transmission of the display control data D4 is received by the wireless communication unit 14, the control unit 16 causes the display unit 13 to display the measurement processing screen 30a. Display control data D4 is generated based on the generated display control data D3, and the generated display control data D4 is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 14 to the smartphone 2.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, as an example, a “setting display” composed of a symbol “Ω” indicating that the resistance measurement processing is set, and a measured value in the measurement result "Measurement result display" composed of the characters "103.9" indicating "and" Ω "indicating that the measured value is a resistance value, and a battery mark indicating the remaining battery level of the measuring unit 11 (In this example, the symbol indicating that the remaining battery level is sufficient) and the “operating state display” composed of characters “16” indicating the device number assigned to the measuring unit 11 are the measuring device 1. Are displayed on the measurement processing screen 30a of the display unit 13 at S3b, segments S4b, S4c, S3a to S3f, S2a to S2d, S2g, Sdp2, S1a to S1d, S1f, S1g, SOHM, SB0 to SB3, S5a , S5c to S5g, S6b, S6c are displayed, and display control data D3 is generated to instruct other segments S to be hidden.

  Therefore, the control part 16 produces | generates the display control data D4 which displays the monitor display part 31 similar to the measurement process screen 30a on the smart phone 2 (display part 23) based on such display control data D3. In addition, about the first display control data D4 transmitted with respect to the smart phone 2, the image corresponding to any segment S of each segment S is displayed, and the image corresponding to any segment S is not displayed. In order to make it possible to specify each of the images, information indicating whether to display or not display all images corresponding to each segment S (“display position identification code corresponding to the display position of the specified image”). An example of “identifiable information” is recorded.

  On the other hand, in the smartphone 2, when the display control data D4 transmitted from the measurement device 1 is received by the wireless communication unit 24, the control unit 26, as described above, based on the display control data D2 and D4. The same display as the “setting display”, “measurement result display”, and “operation state display” displayed on the display unit 13 (measurement processing screen 30a) is displayed on the measurement processing screen 30b of the display unit 23. Specifically, the control unit 26 first displays an image of the image data G at any display position among the display positions of the coordinates P recorded in the display data D2 based on the display control data D4. Identify the kika. Next, the control unit 26 specifies the display position identification code C assigned to the specified display position, and associates the display position of the specified display position identification code C with the coordinate P of the specified display position identification code C with the specified display position identification code C. The image of the image data G being displayed is displayed.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 6, the segments S4b, S4c, S3a to S3f, S2a to S2d, S2g, Sdp2, S1a to S1d, S1f, S1g, SOHM, SB0 to SB3, S5a, S5c to S5g, S6b, S6c Is in a display state and other segments S are in a non-display state, and is set to execute resistance measurement processing in the same manner as the measurement processing screen 30a displayed on the display unit 13 of the measurement apparatus 1. "Setting display" composed of the symbol "Ω" indicating that the measurement value, the character "103.9" indicating the measurement value in the measurement result, and "Ω" indicating that the measurement value is a resistance value ”And“ 16 ”indicating the battery number indicating the remaining battery level of the measuring unit 11 and the device number assigned to the measuring unit 11. The displayed “operation status display” is displayed in the monitor display section 31 of the measurement processing screen 30b.

  Further, as an example, when the measurement result by the measurement unit 11 of the measurement apparatus 1 changes from “103.9Ω” to “103.8Ω”, the measurement apparatus 1 performs resistance measurement as an example as shown in FIG. “Setting display” composed of a symbol “Ω” indicating that the processing is set to be executed, “103.8” indicating the measured value in the measurement result, and the measured value is resistance A “measurement result display” composed of a symbol “Ω” indicating a value, and a battery mark indicating the remaining battery level of the measuring unit 11 (in this example, a symbol indicating that the remaining battery level is sufficient) ), And “operation state display” composed of characters “16” indicating the device number assigned to the measurement unit 11 are displayed on the measurement processing screen 30a of the display unit 13. When the measurement processing screen 30a is displayed, the segments S4b, S4c, S3a to S3f, S2a to S2d, S2g, Sdp2, S1a to S1g, SOHM, SB0 to SB3, S5a, S5c to S5g, S6b, Display control data D3 for displaying S6c and instructing other segments S to be hidden is generated.

  Therefore, the control part 16 produces | generates the display control data D4 which displays the monitor display part 31 similar to the measurement process screen 30a on the smart phone 2 (display part 23) based on such display control data D3. Note that for the second and subsequent display control data D4 transmitted to the smartphone 2, an image to be hidden among the images instructed to be displayed by the display control data D4 transmitted immediately before, and immediately before Information that can specify an image to be displayed among images instructed not to be displayed by the transmitted display control data D4 (“information that can specify a display position identification code corresponding to the display position of the specified image”) Only one other example) is recorded. Specifically, when transmitting the display control data D4 for displaying the measurement result “103.8Ω” following the display control data D4 for displaying the measurement result “103.9Ω”, Information for instructing to display the image (image of segment S1e) of the image data G05 instructed not to be displayed in the display control data D4 (data of measurement result “103.9Ω”) transmitted immediately before Is recorded as display control data D4.

  On the other hand, in the smartphone 2, when the display control data D4 transmitted from the measurement device 1 is received by the wireless communication unit 24, the control unit 26 performs “setting display”, “measurement” based on the display control data D2 and D4. “Result display” and “operation state display” are displayed on the measurement processing screen 30 b of the display unit 23. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7, the segments S4b, S4c, S3a to S3f, S2a to S2d, S2g, Sdp2, S1a to S1g, SOHM, SB0 to SB3, S5a, S5c to S5g, S6b, and S6c are displayed. The other segment S is set in a non-display state, and is set to execute the resistance measurement process in the same manner as the measurement process screen 30a displayed on the display unit 13 of the measurement apparatus 1. "Setting display" composed of the symbol "Ω" indicating, "103.8" indicating the measured value in the measurement result, and "Ω" symbol indicating that the measured value is a resistance value "Measurement result display" composed of "battery mark" indicating the remaining battery capacity of the measurement unit 11, and "operation state" composed of the characters "16" indicating the device number assigned to the measurement unit 11 “Display” is displayed in the monitor display section 31 of the measurement processing screen 30b. Thereafter, each time new display control data D4 is transmitted from the measurement device 1 to the smartphone 2, the monitor display unit 31 similar to the measurement processing screen 30a displayed on the display unit 13 of the measurement device 1 is displayed on the smartphone 2. It is displayed on the display unit 23 (measurement processing screen 30b).

  Although different from the above example, the measurement system program Dp is started in the smartphone 2 in a state where the display data D2 is stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M) of the smartphone 2, and When wireless communication is established between the wireless communication unit 14 of the measurement device 1 and the wireless communication unit 24 of the smartphone 2 for which “measurement processing” has not started, as an example, the measurement device 1 changes to the smartphone 2. On the other hand, display control data D4 instructing display of segment SOHM and segments SB0 to SB3 is transmitted. Thereby, the symbol “Ω” configured by the segment SOHM as the “setting display” indicating that the resistance measurement process is set to be performed on the display unit 23 of the smartphone 2, and the remaining battery level A symbol composed of segments SB0 to SB3 as “operation state display” indicating that it is sufficient is displayed (not shown).

  Although detailed description is omitted, even after the measurement processing as described above is completed, when the measurement device 1 performs the second and subsequent measurement processing, the measurement result is displayed on the display unit 23 of the smartphone 2. (Measurement processing screen 30b) can be displayed. At this time, as described above, the display data D2 for displaying the monitor display unit 31 is transmitted from the measurement device 1 to the smartphone 2 prior to the first measurement process, and the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory). M), the display control data D4 is simply transmitted from the measurement device 1 to the smartphone 2, and is set during the second and subsequent measurement processing in the same manner as when the monitor display unit 31 is displayed. The operating condition (measurement condition) and the operating state, and the result of the measurement process can be displayed on the smartphone 2.

  On the other hand, when displaying the measurement result of the other “measurement device” having a different type from the measurement device 1 on the smartphone 2, when the display data D2 is transmitted from the measurement device 1 to the smartphone 2, as described above. In the same manner, by transmitting display data D2 from the “measurement device” to the smartphone 2, the same information is displayed in the same layout as the “measurement processing screen” of the “measurement device”. (Not shown).

  As described above, in the measurement apparatus 1, the display for displaying the monitor display unit 31 as “at least one display” (all of “setting display”, “operation state display”, and “measurement result display” in this example) is displayed. When the “transmission start condition” defined in advance in a state in which communication with the smartphone 2 including the unit 23 is possible (in this example, the control data D1 indicating that transmission of the display data D2 from the smartphone 2 is started) When the data is transmitted), the “data transmission process” for transmitting the display data D2 to the smartphone 2 is executed. In the “display control process”, the image constituting the monitor display unit 31 is specified, and the specified image is displayed. Display control data D4 that can specify the display position identification code C assigned to the display position is transmitted to the smartphone 2. The smartphone 2 stores the display data D2 transmitted from the measuring device 1 in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M) in accordance with the description of the measurement system program Dp, and performs the measurement in the “display process”. Based on the display control data D4 and the display data D2 transmitted from the device 1, the display position identification code C gives an image of the image data G associated with the display position identification code C specified based on the display control data D4. The monitor display unit 31 is displayed on the display unit 23 by being displayed at the displayed display position. Further, the measurement system 100 includes the measurement device 1 and the smartphone 2 described above.

  Therefore, according to the measurement device 1, the smartphone 2, and the measurement system 100, a plurality of types of image data G can be displayed on the smartphone 2 in advance so that the above “at least one display” for a plurality of types of “measurement devices” can be displayed. By transmitting display data D2 including image data G and data of coordinates P from the measurement device 1 to the smartphone 2 without storing them, the monitor display unit 31 for the measurement device 1 is displayed on the smartphone 2. Therefore, storing only the display data D2 for the measuring device 1 that should display “at least one display” in the smartphone 2 may cause a situation in which the valuable storage area of the smartphone 2 is unnecessarily occupied. And display “at least one display” on the display unit 23 of the smartphone 2 without fail. It can be.

  Moreover, according to this measuring device 1, the smart phone 2, and the measuring system 100, the image data G of the image of each segment S in the character of the 7-segment display method is stored in the memory 17, and for display including such image data G By transmitting the data D2 to the smartphone 2, the monitor display unit 31 including characters of the 7-segment display method can be displayed on the display unit 23. For example, the numbers “0” to “9” are displayed. Unlike displaying 10 types of numbers “0” to “9” using 10 types of image data, 7 types of image data G of the image of each segment S (in this example, image data G01 to G07). ) To the smartphone 2, 10 types of numbers from “0” to “9” can be displayed. A storage area of the memory 17, the data volume to be transmitted to the smart phone 2 (data size of the display data D2) can be sufficiently reduced.

  Further, according to the measurement device 1, the smartphone 2, and the measurement system 100, the measurement device 1 is associated with the display position of the image corresponding to the segment S displayed on the display unit 13 in the “display control process”. Separately from the display control data D3 for displaying the measurement processing screen 30a on the display unit 13 by transmitting the display control data D4 capable of specifying the display position identification code C to the smartphone 2, the display unit of the smartphone 2 23, it is not necessary to generate “display control data” for displaying the monitor display unit 31 (measurement processing screen 30b) on the display unit 23. Therefore, “at least one display (monitor display unit 31)” is displayed on the display unit 23 of the smartphone 2. The load applied to the control unit 16 when displaying can be sufficiently reduced.

  Further, according to the measurement device 1, the smartphone 2, and the measurement system 100, when the smartphone 2 satisfies a “reception start condition” that is defined in advance in a state in which the smartphone 2 can communicate with the measurement device 1, the measurement device 1 It is determined whether or not the display data D2 that can display the monitor display unit 31 indicating the measurement result is stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M), and is displayed when the display data D2 is not stored. By transmitting the control data D1 for starting transmission of the data D2 to the measuring device 1, the same display data from the measuring device 1 in which the display data D2 is already stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M). The situation where unnecessary “data transmission processing” for transmitting D2 can be suitably avoided, and monitor display Display data D2 necessary for displaying 31 smartphone 2 of the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M) of the monitor display part 31 reliably is stored in can be reliably displayed.

  Further, in the measurement apparatus 1, prior to the “data transmission process”, the identification code data D0 is transmitted to the smartphone 2, and the control data D1 that allows transmission of the display data D2 is transmitted from the smartphone 2. “Data transmission processing” is started assuming that “transmission start condition” is satisfied. Further, in the smartphone 2, when the identification code data D0 is transmitted from the measurement device 1, the display data D2 associated with the identification code data D0 is stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M). If not, the control data D1 for starting the transmission of the display data D2 is transmitted to the measuring device 1, and the display data D2 transmitted from the measuring device 1 is associated with the identification code data D0 to associate with the main body memory 21 (or storage memory). M) and when the display data D2 associated with the identification code data D0 is stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M), it is notified that the transmission of the display data D2 is unnecessary. The control data D1 to be transmitted is transmitted to the measuring device 1. Further, the measurement system 100 includes the measurement device 1 and the smartphone 2 described above.

  Therefore, according to the measurement device 1, the smartphone 2, and the measurement system 100, for display capable of displaying “setting display”, “operation state display”, and “measurement result display” (monitor display unit 31) for the measurement device 1. Since it is possible to accurately determine whether or not the data D2 is stored in the smartphone 2, the measuring device is compared with the smartphone 2 in which the display data D2 is already stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M). 1 can reliably avoid unnecessary “data transmission processing” in which the same display data D2 is transmitted from 1, and display data D2 necessary for display on the monitor display unit 31 is stored in the main body memory 21 of the smartphone 2 (or , Storage memory M) can be surely stored and the monitor display unit 31 can be displayed more reliably. That.

  Note that the configurations of the measurement device, the portable terminal device, and the measurement system are not limited to the above examples. For example, the display data D2 including the image data G01 to G07 of the image of each segment S in the characters of the 7-segment display method has been described as an example, but the above-described image data G01 to G07 is described as an example. Instead, “display data” including 10 “image data” in which 10 types of numbers “0” to “9” are drawn is transmitted to the “portable terminal device” as the “external device”. Thus, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which “measurement result display” including ten types of numbers “0” to “9” is displayed (not shown).

  Prior to the start of the “data transmission process”, identification code data D0, which is an example of the “first device identification code”, is transmitted from the measuring device 1 to the smartphone 2, and the identification code data D0 transmitted by the smartphone 2 is transmitted. The configuration for determining whether or not the display data D2 associated with is stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M) has been described as an example. However, instead of the identification code data D0, measurement is performed. Measurement device group configured to be able to display the same monitor display unit 31 as that of the device 1 (“setting display”, “operation state display” and “measurement result” by the segment S similar to each segment S in the display unit 13 of the measurement device 1) Smart identification code data recording “second device identification code” commonly given to various types of measuring devices that display “display” In the smartphone 2, a configuration is adopted in which it is determined whether the display data D <b> 2 associated with the transmitted identification code data is stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M). You can also By adopting such a configuration, when the display data D2 associated with the “second device identification code” is already stored in the main body memory 21 (or the storage memory M) of the smartphone 2, It is possible to reliably avoid an unnecessary “data transmission process” in which the same display data D2 is transmitted to another measurement apparatus to which the “second apparatus identification code” is assigned.

  In addition, the measurement system 100 including the measurement apparatus 1 including the wireless communication unit 14 capable of performing short-range wireless communication in accordance with the Bluetooth standard has been described as an example. However, instead of this configuration, or in this configuration, In addition, a wireless communication unit that can be connected to a wireless LAN, a wireless communication unit that can perform infrared communication according to the IrDA standard, and a wireless communication unit that can perform short-range wireless communication according to the ZigBee (registered trademark) standard The “measuring system” can also be configured by including a “measuring device” and a “portable terminal device”. Even when such a configuration is adopted, the same effect as that of the measurement system 100 can be obtained.

  Furthermore, the use method of transmitting and receiving the control data D1 and the display control data D4 by wireless communication between the wireless communication units 14 and 24 has been described as an example. However, in the measurement system 100 described above, the wired communication units 15 and 25 The control data D1 and the display control data D4 can be transmitted / received by wired communication in a state where the signal cables 3 are connected to each other. In this case, as the “wired communication unit”, not only wired communication according to the USB standard as illustrated above, but also various signals and data according to various wired communication standards conforming to the IEEE488 standard, the IEEE1394 standard, etc. A configuration for transmitting and receiving may be employed. The communication means between the “measuring device” and the “portable terminal device” is not limited to short-range wireless communication or wired communication, but uses long-distance communication using a public line network or the Internet communication network. You can also

  In addition, as an example of the “portable terminal device”, the configuration using the existing smartphone 2 in which the measurement system program Dp is installed has been described as an example. However, the “portable terminal device” is not limited to the “smartphone”. A “measurement system program” similar to the measurement system program Dp can be installed in a “tablet terminal” or “notebook personal computer” and used as a “portable terminal device”. Furthermore, with respect to the measurement system program Dp to be installed on the smartphone 2, an example of downloading from an arbitrary site on the Internet and using it, or providing an installation optical disk as an accessory of the “measuring device” has been described. However, the measurement system program Dp can also be configured to be transmitted from the “measuring device” to the “portable terminal device” and installed in the same manner as the display data D2.

  Moreover, although the example which displays the same information on the display part 23 (measurement process screen 30b) of the smart phone 2 with the same layout as the measurement process screen 30a displayed on the display part 13 of the measuring apparatus 1 was demonstrated, It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a display having a different layout and content from the “setting display”, “operation status display”, and “measurement result display” displayed on the “side display unit” is displayed on the “external device side display unit”. . Furthermore, although the measurement apparatus 1 integrally provided with the display unit 13 has been described as an example, a “display” is displayed from a “measurement apparatus” that does not have a “measurement apparatus side display unit” to a “portable terminal device” such as the smartphone 2. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which “data for display” and “display control data” are transmitted to display “setting display”, “operation state display”, and “measurement result display”.

  In addition, the description has been given by taking as an example a configuration in which all of “setting display”, “operation state display”, and “measurement result display” are displayed on the display unit 23 of the smartphone 2 as “external device (mobile terminal device)”. , Adopting a configuration in which any one or two of “setting display”, “operation state display” and “measurement result display” are displayed on the display unit of “external device (mobile terminal device)” You can also. The “setting display” is not limited to the display indicating “type of measurement processing set” (resistance measurement processing or current measurement processing) as in the above example, but the measurement range, trigger level, and sampling cycle. This includes various displays indicating setting values relating to various setting items such as measurement start time and measurement end time. In addition to the above-mentioned examples, “operation status display” includes a display composed of a character string “MEASURE” indicating that the measurement process is being performed, and a preliminarily indicating that the storage capacity of the measurement value is small. This includes various displays such as a display made up of defined symbols (not shown).

  Furthermore, although it demonstrated and mentioned as the example comprised and comprised with the clamp type resistance measuring device (measuring device 1) which is an example of a "measuring device", the structure of a "measuring device" is not limited to this, A current value, voltage A “measuring device” capable of measuring various measured quantities (electrical parameters) such as value, resistance value, phase, power, temperature, humidity, luminance, and illuminance can be provided.
