Abstract:
PURPOSE:To reduce the load of a microprocessor and to shorten a measuring unit time by mounting a sequence controller controlling measurement. CONSTITUTION:A microprocessor (MP) supplies a defined command to a sequence controller (SC) to start measurement. The SC responds to the supplied command to operate an integrating section control circuit and an ADC in defined order. The ADC transmits the completion of A/D conversion to the MP as an interruption signal and the MP stores the data subjected to A/D conversion in the corresponding memory of the AD/ID outputted from the SC and transmits the completion of the taking-in of data to the SC. The SC confirms the completion of the taking-in of data of the previous time by the MP at the time of the completion of integration to start the next A/D conversion. As mentioned above, the control of measurement is entrusted to the SC and the MP issues a command for the SC to start measurement to perform the operation of the measured value of the previous time or the processing or display of data. As a result, a measuring unit time can be shortened.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure the S-parameter of a four port device, without changing cable connection in the middle of measurement, by performing switchover of two switches of a four port test set, by the control signals of a network analyzer. SOLUTION: A four port test set 20 is composed of switches SW1 , SW2 , and a control unit 21, and the control unit 21 receives control signals from a network analyzer 10 and performs switchover of the switches SW1 , SW2 respectively. And a signal from a port P1 of the analyzer 10 is switched over to a port P4 or port P5 by the switch SW1 , and a signal from a port P2 is switched over to a port P3 or port P6 . Consequently, it becomes possible to measure the S parameter of a four port device 30, without changing cable connections in the middle of measurement, since a section between each port P3 -P6 of the test set 20 and each measuring terminal Rx , A1 , A2 , Tx of the four port device 30 is all connected with a cable respectively. Accordingly, throughputs of measurement increase.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To efficiently inspect whether application software is actualized according to specifications without impairing reliability while a process is executed in an ideal state on a system which uses an OS of a real-time processing system. CONSTITUTION:On the system which uses the OS of the real-time processing system, the units of processes are tasks. For the processes execution of a task, the treaty to be satisfied the both of 'preconditions' for the process which should be satisfied in advance and 'postconditions' which should be guaranteed when the process ends under the conditions is prescribed as a precondition. Then messages are transferred to a separately provided inspecting device, process by process, and compared and matched with 'standards of preconditions and postconditions' which are registered there to perform the inspection simultaneously in parallel.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce noise of measurement data exchanged by a measurement module. SOLUTION: A measurement control part 10 controls circuits 50a and b to be measured, and it acquires measurement data from the circuits 50a and b to be measured. A CPU 20 controls the measurement control part 10 via a bus 40. Since the CPU 20 does not directly control circuits 50a and b to be measured, no measurement data is exchanged between the CPU 20 and the measurement control part 10. Consequently, since a control signal or the like transmitted via the bus 40 is not mixed in the measurement data and the control signal or the like sent from the CPU 20 does not become noise, the noise of the measurement data is reduced.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method by which the actual operating time of a measuring instrument can be measured, by utilizing conventional hardware configuration even when no additional parts are used for integrating the operating time. SOLUTION: An actual operating time of a measuring instrument provided with a CPU 20 which performs operation and control, an RTC 30 which is backed up by means of a backup battery and outputs time data, a RAM 40 which is backed up by means of the backup battery, and a memory 50 which stores programs until the last time is integrated by storing the last turning-on time of a power source, the integrated actual operating time of the instrument until the last time but one, and the last turning-off time of the power source.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To delay the time when a memory block becomes faulty and also to eliminate spare area to maximize the available capacity of a storage by searching information of a least write frequency out of those unused information and writing a relevant memory block. SOLUTION: A write request, a sector number 90sec and user write data 79wdat are received from a host interface, and the logical block number that is obtained by searching the information of the least write frequency out of those unused information of a using frequency list 40 is written. In regard to the write contents, the block header part information is added to the data 79wdat and the normal CRC code value is written. In this case, the addition updating value obtained by adding 1 to the preceding value is stored in regard to the write frequency data. These updating information are updated in the same way also in the list 40 of a RAM. At this point of time, the old data of the same sector number 90sec are not erased yet and therefore stored as they are.
