Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (1) Field of industrial application to which the invention pertains The present invention relates to electronic measuring instruments.

(2) Prior art Some types of electronic measuring instruments store data indicating measurement results and equipment setting conditions in internal memory or external memory, and it is now possible to retrieve the stored data. There is. At this time, it is often necessary to add information associated with the measurement results and setting conditions. However, conventional electronic measuring instruments do not have this function. Normally, the measurement results and setting conditions that are saved are managed by numbers, but some devices can be given names. In this case, although accompanying information can be included in the name, the number of characters is likely to be limited due to the original purpose, and the amount of information is small.

Therefore, if it is possible to input a large number of characters, the number of character input operations increases, resulting in a decrease in operability. In addition, in order to have such a function, a key for inputting characters is naturally required, and in this case, there are also restrictions on the type of characters, that is, the language.

(3) Purpose of the Invention The present invention enables information accompanying measurement results and setting conditions to be recorded and played back by voice, thereby eliminating the need for any character input operations, and also eliminating linguistic constraints on information. The present invention provides an electronic measuring instrument with a voice memo function.

(4) Structure of the Invention In order to achieve this object, the electronic measuring instrument with a voice memo function of the present invention includes means for storing data indicating measurement results and setting conditions and reproducing and displaying the stored data; It has a configuration that includes means for capturing and storing audio information corresponding to measurement results and setting conditions, and reproducing and transmitting the stored audio information as audio in response to reproducing the data.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

An example is shown in FIG. Memory 1 is a memory that is not backed up by a battery, and memory 2 is a memory that is backed up by a battery. 3 is the operation panel, 4 is C
PU, 5 is Ilo, 6 is microphone, 7 is amplifier, 8
is an A/D converter, 9 is a display circuit, 10 is a cathode ray tube, and I
I is a D/A converter, 12 is an amplifier, and 13 is a speaker.

The operation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be explained with reference to FIG. It is assumed that all memories 1 store measurement results or setting conditions. When an operation is performed from the operation panel 3 to save them, the CPU 4 reads them through l105 and transfers the contents of memory 1 to memory 2 (S, → S2 →
S,→S,).

On the other hand, an audio signal obtained from the microphone 6 by audio input is amplified by the amplifier 7 and encoded by the A/D converter 8 (S7→S). After transferring the contents of the memory 1 to the memory 2, the CPU 4 writes a predetermined amount of the encoded audio data to the audio data area in the memory 2 (S,).

The writing destination address is associated with the address to which the measurement results or setting conditions are transferred.

When changing only the audio information of the measurement results or setting conditions that have already been saved, perform the operation from the operation panel 3, and the CPU 4 reads this through the l105, does not perform the operation of transcribing the memory contents, and transfers the information to the audio data area. The audio data is rewritten to the corresponding address in the above-mentioned manner (SI"S2→53-S, →S8→S,).

When reproducing saved measurement results or setting conditions, perform the operation from the operation panel 4 (S, → S2
), CPU4 reads this through l105 (
S,→S4→S5), and the contents of the corresponding address in memory 2 are transferred to memory 1 (S,.). As a result, the contents are displayed on the cathode ray tube 10 through the display circuit 9, and the circuit is controlled to reproduce the setting conditions. After that, the CPU 4 reads the content of the address of the audio data area in the memory 2 corresponding to the reproduced measurement results or setting conditions (s, '+), and the D/A converter 11
After converting the signal into an analog signal through the (S+2) amplifier 12, the signal is amplified by the amplifier 12 and reproduced by the speaker 13.

To play only the saved audio data, perform that operation from the operation panel 3 (S, -32), and the CPU 4
reads this through l105 (S.

→S4→S, →S,), without performing the operation of transcribing the contents of the memory, reads the contents of the address of the audio data area in the corresponding memory 2 (S,,), and reproduces as described above. (S12).

(5) As described in detail, according to the present invention, information associated with measurement results or setting conditions can be recorded and reproduced without any panel operations such as character input, and the information has the advantage of not being subject to language constraints.
