An electrical measurement device is described with an acquisition unit that is configured to receive an input signal, a post-processing unit, and a visualization unit. The acquisition unit comprises an acquisition trigger unit and an acquisition memory, the acquisition memory being configured to acquire sampled output data and to store the sampled output data by control of the acquisition trigger unit. The post-processing unit comprises a measurement unit that is configured to process at least parts of the sampled output data and to generate processed sampled output data. The post-processing unit further comprises a measurement trigger unit that is configured to evaluate the processed sampled output data in view of a measurement trigger condition, the measurement trigger unit being configured to output a measurement trigger event if the measurement trigger condition is met. The measurement trigger unit is further configured to control the visualization unit. Moreover, a method for operating an electrical measurement device is described.
