TEST AND MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT, AND METHOD OF TRAINING TEST AND MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT TO SUGGEST MEASUREMENTS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow for suggesting appropriate measurements by classifying input waveforms.SOLUTION: An oscilloscope 200 includes an input port 215 for receiving training data including waveforms and corresponding known classifications, and a processor 212 for training a plurality of classifiers on the training data. Training involves iteratively applying each classifier to each waveform of the training data to obtain corresponding predicted waveform classifications, and comparing the predicted waveform classifications with known classifications. The classifiers are corrected when the predicted waveform classifications do not match the known classifications. Models for each classification are constructed with suggested measurements or actions. Subsequently, live waveform data is captured by the oscilloscope 200 and the classifiers are applied to live data. When a confidence value for a single classification exceeds a threshold, the waveform data is classified, and suggested measurements or actions are implemented in the oscilloscope 200 on the basis of the classification.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
