ABSTRACT:
A system and methodology for use in a signal measurement system having a graphical user interface. The measurement invocation system is configured to provide graphical control elements on the graphical user interface such that the selection of a control element invokes a measurement operation on a selected displayed waveform. The measurement invocation system automatically performs a waveform measurement function when graphically associated by a user with a waveform displayed in a waveform display region of a graphical user interface is disclosed. The measurement invocation system includes a measurement toolbar manager configured to display on the graphical user interface one or more measurement icons. Each of the icons corresponds to a waveform measurement function. The toolbar manager identifies which of the one or more measurement icons has been selected by the user. A waveform identifier enables the user to graphically associate the selected measurement icon with a source waveform and determines a point of measurement invocation on the source waveform. The invocation system also includes a measurement controller that invokes the selected measurement function on a measurement extent of the source waveform when the association of the selected measurement and the source waveform is a valid association. Preferably, the measurement icons are arranged within a measurement toolbar region proximate to the waveform display region of the graphical user interface.
