Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the setting of parameter groups for determining measurement conditions by rearranging parameter groups in a storage circuit in specification frequency order every time a parameter group suitable to the measurement conditions is retrieved. CONSTITUTION:Many parameter groups each consisting of a necessary number of mutually relative parameters for determining various measurement conditions of measuring instrument are stored in the storage circuit while sequenced. When a parameter group suitable to a measurement condition is set, a specifying instruction for a parameter group is inputted from an input device 4 and then the parameter group of the highest specification frequency is read out of the circuit 2 by a parameter search circuit 12 and sent out to a display circuit 16. When the displayed parameter group does not suits to the measurement condition, a matched parameter is specified and inputted, then the circuit 12 performs retrieves, and a frequency carrying-up circuit 8 increases the specification frequency by one.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (A) Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a parameter group setting device for a measuring instrument equipped with a learning function.

(B) Prior art and its problems In general, in measuring instruments, it is necessary to set parameters such as numerical values in order to determine various measurement conditions.

Conventionally, when setting such parameters, i;J:
, (i) A method in which default values are determined for each parameter and the default values are called in response to enumeration of each parameter;
ii) Group multiple parameters into a parameter group according to measurement conditions, collect them and create a table before use.

, a method is adopted in which a group of parameters is called at once by specifying the number and name of the corresponding parameter group.

However, in the method (1), when changing the measurement conditions, parameters other than default values must be input each time, which makes setting the measurement conditions complicated. Furthermore, in the method (11), a table must be created by collecting various parameter groups that match the measurement conditions in advance, which requires a great deal of effort to create the table.

The present invention has been made in view of these circumstances, and each time a parameter group corresponding to measurement conditions is registered, the contents are learned, and the later the parameter group setting becomes easier. The purpose is to do so.

(c) Additional means for solving the problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following configuration. That is, the parameter group setting device for a measuring instrument according to the present invention includes: a parameter group storage circuit that stores in order a large number of parameter groups consisting of a required number of mutually related parameters that define various measurement conditions of the measuring instrument; an input device for specifying and inputting each matching parameter; a parameter search circuit for searching the parameter group storage circuit for a parameter group including the parameters specified by the input device and sending the searched parameter group to the display circuit; Each time one parameter group is specified by specifying a series of parameters that match the measurement conditions from among the stored parameter groups,
and a parameter group rearrangement circuit that rearranges all parameter groups in order of designated frequency.

(D) Function The parameter group setting device of the present invention operates as follows.

When setting a group of parameters that match the measurement conditions, one parameter is specified using the input device.

In response to this, the parameter search circuit searches the parameter group storage circuit for a parameter group including the designated parameter and sends it to the display circuit.

=3= When one parameter group is designated by a series of parameter designation operations that match the measurement conditions, the parameter group rearrangement circuit rearranges all parameter groups stored in the parameter group storage circuit in order of the frequency of designation. . Therefore,
Parameter groups are stored in the parameter group storage circuit in descending order of designation frequency. In other words, each time a parameter group is specified, its contents are learned.

(P) Embodiment FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a parameter group setting device in a measuring instrument according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure, reference numeral l indicates the entire parameter group setting device, and reference numeral 2 indicates a parameter group storage circuit that stores in order a large number of parameter groups consisting of a required number of mutually related parameters that define various measurement conditions of the measuring instrument; Reference numeral 4 denotes an input device for specifying and inputting each parameter that matches the measurement conditions.

6 is a display circuit such as a CRT display that displays the parameter group read out from the parameter group storage circuit 2; 8 is a display circuit such as a CRT display that displays the parameter group read out from the parameter group storage circuit 2; Frequency increment circuit that increments the specified frequency of a parameter group, IO
is a parameter group rearranging circuit that rearranges the parameter groups stored in the parameter group storage circuit 2 in the order of designated frequencies based on the frequency raising result of the frequency raising circuit 8.

Further, 12 is a parameter search circuit that searches the parameter group storage circuit 2 for a parameter group including the parameter specified by the input device 4 and sends it to the display circuit 6, 14 is a working memory of the parameter search circuit I2, and 16 is the above-mentioned parameter search circuit. This is a control device that centrally controls each circuit 2 to 12.

Next, the operation of this parameter group setting device 1 will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In addition,
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a case will be described in which measurement conditions are set by eleventh, second, and third parameters X and YSZ that are related to each other.

When setting a group of parameters that match the measurement conditions,
First, a parameter group designation command is input from the input device 4. Then, in response to this, the parameter search circuit 12
reads the most frequently specified parameter group from the parameter group storage circuit 2, in this example a parameter group consisting of Xl, Y and Zl, and sends this parameter group to the display circuit 6. Therefore, the display circuit 6 first displays one parameter group X, Y, Z, which is specified most frequently (Step I).

Each parameter X11Y1 constituting this parameter group,
If Zl complies with all measurement conditions, when a parameter group designation command is input from the input device 4, the control device 16
In response to this designated command, steps 2 to 9 to step 10 to step 17 to step 18 to step 20 are performed.
The parameter groups X1, Y8, and Zl are sequentially fixed via . In step 21), the parameter search circuit 12 searches the parameter group storage circuit 2 and extracts the corresponding parameter group with the highest frequency of specification. Control device 1
6, the measurement conditions are thereby set. Next, the frequency incrementing circuit 8 selects the specified parameter groups X+, Y+1. The designated frequency of Z + is incremented by one, and then the parameter group rearrangement circuit 10 rearranges all parameter groups in the order of designated frequency based on the frequency raising result of the frequency raising circuit 8 (step 23). However, in this case, since the parameter group with the highest frequency of specification is specified, the order of the parameter groups is essentially unchanged from before specification.

If the initially displayed parameter group X1, Yl, Zl does not meet the measurement conditions, a first parameter, for example X3, that matches the measurement conditions is designated and entered using the input device 4 (step 3). Then, in response to this, the parameter search circuit 12 searches the parameter group storage circuit 2 for a parameter group including the designated first parameter X3 (step 5). If there is a corresponding first parameter X3, the parameter search circuit 12 reads from the parameter group storage circuit 2 a parameter group that includes the first parameter x3 and has the highest specified frequency, such as x3, Y3, Z3, and displays it. The signal is sent to circuit 6 (step 6).

All parameters that make up this parameter group are
, Y3, and Z3 meet the measurement conditions, the input device 4
The control device 16 responds to this by inputting a command to specify this parameter group from the
The parameter groups X3, Y3, and Z3 are fixed in sequence through steps 17 to 18 to 20. When the parameter group X3, Y3, and Z3 are fixed, then
The parameter search circuit 12 searches the parameter group storage circuit 2 and reads out the corresponding parameter group.
6 (step 21), measurement conditions are thereby set. Next, the frequency raising circuit 8 increments the designated frequencies of the designated parameter groups Sort all parameter groups in order of specified frequency (step 23)
. Therefore, the parameter groups are rearranged and stored in the parameter group storage circuit 2 in descending order of frequency of specification.

Next, by changing the measurement conditions, etc., a new parameter group
a, Yb5Zc, since the parameter group storage circuit 2 does not store any of the values of the first to third parameters that meet the measurement conditions, in step 3, first the 1 Parameter Xa is specified manually. Then, the parameter search circuit 12 searches the parameter group storage circuit 2 for a parameter group including the first parameter Xi (step 4), but in this case, since there is no corresponding first parameter Xi (step 5), next,
The parameter search circuit 2 selects one parameter group, for example, Xm, YmS, Zm, including the first parameter with the value most similar to the first parameter Xi (step 7),
The second and third parameters YLZm of this parameter group are linked with the previously designated first parameter Xj and sent to the display circuit 6 (step 8). Therefore, the display circuit 6 has Xa, 1m.

A parameter group consisting of Zm is displayed. Also, at this time, the control device 16 fixes the specified first parameter Xa (step 9).

Next, when the second parameter yb is input from the input device 2 through step IO (step 11), the parameter group storage circuit 2 searches for a parameter group including the first and second parameters Xa and Yb (step 12). . In this case, since there is no corresponding parameter group (step 13), the parameter surge circuit 2 next calculates the 11th second parameter
Step 15) Select one parameter group having the first and second parameters most similar to a, Yb, for example, Xn5Yn, Zn, and select the third parameter Z of this parameter group.
n is linked with the previously specified first and second parameters Xa and Yb and output to the display circuit 6 (step 16). Therefore, the display circuit 6 includes Xa and Yb.

A parameter group consisting of Zn is displayed. Also, at this time, the control device I6 fixes the specified second parameter Yb (step +7).

Furthermore, when the third parameter Zc is designated and input from the input device 2 through step 18 (step 19), the control device I
9 fixes the designated third parameter Zc (step 20), while the parameter group storage circuit 2 searches for a parameter group including the designated first, second, and third parameters Xa, Yb, and Zc (step 21). in this case,
Since there is no corresponding parameter group (step 22), the control device 16 then determines whether there is enough storage capacity in the parameter group storage circuit 2 (step 24). The newly designated parameter group Xa, Yb5Zc is stored at the beginning of the section (or at the end if the parameter group has already been stored).

In this case, the newly set parameter group Xa.

The designation frequency of Yb and Zc is "1".

In this embodiment, a case has been described in which measurement conditions for a measuring device are set, but the present invention can also be applied to the selection of homophones in a Japanese word processor.

(f) Effects As described above, according to the present invention, each time a parameter group that matches the measurement conditions is registered, its contents are learned.
Excellent effects such as easier setting of parameter groups are exhibited as the process progresses later.
