Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus and a measurement apparatus configured to be able to set operating conditions using numerical values that can be arbitrarily changed as a part of a plurality of conditions.

  As this type of electronic apparatus and measuring apparatus, the applicant discloses a waveform display apparatus in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-292446. In the waveform display device disclosed by the applicant, for example, when setting a “numerical operating condition” such as an upper limit value or a lower limit value of the display range, the set value is increased by operating the UP key to a large value. In addition to the change, a configuration is adopted in which the set value is reduced to a smaller value by operating the DOWN key. In this case, in the waveform display device disclosed by the applicant, the set value is set according to the elapsed time from the start of the operation of the UP key or the DOWN key (hereinafter collectively referred to as “numerical value change key”). A configuration is adopted in which the set value is changed at a faster pace as the duration of the key operation becomes longer by changing the change amount or the change time interval of the set value.

  Specifically, in the waveform display device disclosed by the applicant, when the numerical value change key operation is started, the set value is incremented once by “change amount 1 V”, and when 1 second has elapsed from the start of the operation. The process of continuously increasing the set value at “1V change amount per 0.5 second” is started, and when 4 seconds have elapsed from the start of operation, the set value is set at “1V change amount per 0.2 second”. Is started (a process for changing the change time interval), and when 7 seconds have elapsed from the start of the operation, the set value is continuously increased at “change amount of 10 V per 0.5 second”. Start processing (processing to change the change amount and change time interval), and start processing to continuously increase the set value at "100V change amount per 0.5 seconds" when 12 seconds have elapsed from the start of operation (Change the amount of change. ) The configuration of the has been adopted.

  Thereby, in the waveform display device disclosed by the applicant, when the difference between the preset value and the target set value is small, when the elapsed time since the operation of the numerical value change key is short, that is, the set value Since the set value increases (or decreases) to the target set value when the value is changed at a relatively slow pace, the set value may be larger than the target set value or smaller than the target set value. Can avoid the situation. Further, in the waveform display device disclosed by the applicant, when the difference between the preset value and the target set value is large, the setting value is changed at a relatively fast pace by continuing to operate the numerical value change key. Therefore, the preset value can be increased or decreased to the target set value in a short time, and the time required for setting the operating condition can be sufficiently shortened.

JP 2000-292446 A (page 3-5, FIG. 1-5)

  However, the waveform display device disclosed by the applicant has the following problems to be improved. In other words, in the waveform display device disclosed by the applicant, by changing the change amount of the set value and the change time interval according to the elapsed time from the start of the operation, the setting time is increased as the duration of the key operation becomes longer. A configuration in which the value is changed is adopted. Therefore, in the waveform display device disclosed by the applicant, the elapsed time from the start of the operation of the numerical value change key (the duration of the key operation) becomes longer and the change speed of the set value becomes faster. When the set value reaches the target set value, it becomes difficult to finish the operation of the numeric value change key, and the set value at the end of the key operation becomes a large value exceeding the target set value or below the target set value. It may be a small value. For this reason, it becomes necessary to execute again the switch operation for setting the set value larger than the target set value or the set value smaller than the target set value as the target set value.

  In the waveform display device disclosed by the applicant, when the amount of change in the set value is changed from “1V” to “10V”, the first digit of the set value at that time is rounded up to “0”. When the change amount of the set value is changed from “10 V” to “100 V”, a configuration is adopted in which the tenth digit in the set value at that time is rounded up to “0”. Therefore, for example, when the setting value with the existing setting value “3V” is changed to the target setting value with “2255V”, the setting value being changed is “ Even if the key operation can be terminated at the time of “2200V”, it is necessary to execute the switch operation for changing “2200V” to “2255V” again. Thus, in the waveform display device disclosed by the applicant, it may be necessary to perform a plurality of switch operations when the difference between the preset value and the target set value is large. It is preferable to do this.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem to be improved, and a main object of the present invention is to provide an electronic apparatus and a measuring apparatus that can easily change numerical values as operating conditions in a short time.

  In order to achieve the above object, the electronic device according to claim 1 is capable of arbitrarily changing one of the conditions and a processing unit that executes an operation condition data generation process that generates operation condition data based on a specified condition. An operation unit having a numerical value change switch A that can be changed to a large value by increasing the numerical value and a numerical value change switch B that can be changed to a small value by decreasing the numerical value, and the processing unit generates the operating condition data An electronic device that generates the operation condition data by using a numerical value changed by a pressing operation of at least one of the numerical value change switch A and the numerical value change switch B in processing as a part of the specified condition, the processing unit Is a predetermined time interval A while the pressing operation of the numerical value change switch A is continued during the operation condition data generation process. The process A for increasing the numerical value by a predetermined change amount A and the numerical value B by a predetermined change amount B at a predetermined time interval B while the pressing operation of the numerical value change switch B is continued. In the process A, the parameter A that changes with the change in the pressing force applied to the numerical value change switch A is monitored, and the time interval A increases as the pressing force decreases. The time interval A is changed in the Na stage (Na is a natural number) so that the time interval A becomes shorter as the pressing force increases, and the pressing force of the parameter A is increased by the increase of the pressing force. The change amount A is changed in Ma steps (Ma is a natural number) so that the change amount A increases in accordance with the elapsed time after the value in the parameter range corresponding to. And the change amount A is set to La step so that the change amount A decreases according to the elapsed time after the parameter A becomes a value within the parameter range corresponding to the low pressing force due to the decrease of the pressing force. (La is a natural number), and in the process B, the parameter B that changes with the change of the pressing force to the numerical value change switch B is monitored, and the time interval B becomes longer as the pressing force decreases. In addition, the time interval B is changed in Nb steps (Nb is a natural number) so that the time interval B becomes shorter as the pressing force increases, and the parameter B becomes a higher pressing force as the pressing force increases. The change amount B is changed in Mb steps (Mb is a natural number) so that the change amount B increases in accordance with the elapsed time from the corresponding parameter range. Further, the change amount B is set to the Lb stage (Lb) so that the change amount B decreases according to the elapsed time after the parameter B becomes a value within the parameter range corresponding to the low pressing force due to the decrease of the pressing force. Is a natural number).

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a measurement apparatus according to the first aspect, further comprising a display unit capable of displaying an operation condition setting screen, wherein the operation unit is a touch panel disposed on the front side of the display unit. In the operation condition data generation process, the processing unit includes a pseudo operation switch A simulating the numerical value change switch A and a pseudo operation switch B simulating the numerical value change switch B in the operation condition setting screen. And displaying that the numerical value change switch A is pressed when the part facing the pseudo operation switch A on the touch panel is pressed, and the part facing the pseudo operation switch B on the touch panel It is determined that the numerical value change switch B has been pressed when the button is pressed.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a measuring apparatus comprising: the electronic device according to the first or second aspect; and a measuring unit that measures a physical quantity to be measured in accordance with the control of the processing unit.

  In the electronic device according to claim 1, in the process A, the time interval A is changed at the Na stage so that the time interval A becomes longer as the pressing force decreases and the time interval A becomes shorter as the pressing force increases. At the same time, the change amount A is changed at the Ma level so that the change amount A increases in accordance with the elapsed time after the parameter A becomes a value within the parameter range corresponding to the high pressing force, and the parameter A has a low pressing force. The change amount A is changed in the La step so that the change amount A decreases according to the elapsed time after the value within the parameter range corresponding to the pressure. In the process B, the time interval B decreases as the pressing force decreases. And the time interval B is changed in Nb steps so that the time interval B becomes shorter as the pressing force increases, and the parameter B becomes a value within the parameter range corresponding to the higher pressing force. In accordance with the elapsed time after the change amount B is changed in the Mb stage so that the change amount B increases according to the elapsed time, and the parameter B becomes a value within the parameter range corresponding to the low pressing force. The change amount B is changed at the Lb stage so that the change amount B decreases. According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a measuring apparatus comprising: the electronic device according to the first or second aspect; and a measuring unit that measures a physical quantity to be measured according to control of the processing unit.

  Therefore, according to the electronic device according to claim 1 and the measuring device according to claim 3, a certain amount of pressing force is maintained after the pressing force is increased during the pressing operation of the numerical value change switch A or the numerical value change switch B. By continuing the pressing operation, the amount of change (increase or decrease) of the numerical value (setting value) increases, and by increasing the pressing force of the numerical value change switch A or numerical value change switch B, the numerical value (setting value) Since the change time interval is shortened, the numerical value (set value) can be brought close to the target set value in a short time even when the preset value and the target set value are greatly different. Also, by reducing the pressing force of the numerical value change switch A and the numerical value change switch B, the change time interval of the numerical value (setting value) becomes longer, and the pressing force is reduced when the numerical value change switch A and the numerical value change switch B are pressed. Since the amount of change (increase or decrease) of the numerical value (setting value) decreases by maintaining a certain pressing force after the operation and continuing the pressing operation, for example, the numerical value change switch A or the numerical value change switch B By continuing the operation, when the set value being changed approaches the target set value, the amount of change of the numerical value (set value) per unit time is reduced and the numerical value (set value) is simply reduced by reducing the pressing force. As a result of being able to change slowly, the numerical value being set (setting value) exceeds the target setting value and becomes a large value (or a small value exceeding the target setting value), or the numerical value being set (setting) value To avoid changing the numerical value change switch A or the numerical value change switch B before the value reaches the target set value, and to change the value (set value) accurately and easily to the target set value. Can do. For this reason, according to the electronic apparatus and the measuring apparatus, it is possible to easily set the numerical setting value of the operating conditions to the target setting value in a short time.

  Further, according to the electronic device of the second aspect, it is determined that the numerical value change switch A is pressed when the part facing the pseudo operation switch A on the touch panel is pressed, and the pseudo operation switch B on the touch panel is By determining that the numerical value change switch B is pressed when the opposite part is pressed, for example, a numerical value change switch A constituted by a pressure detection switch is provided instead of the pseudo operation switch A, or the pseudo operation switch Unlike the configuration in which a numerical value change switch B configured by a pressure detection switch is provided instead of B, the frequency of use is low during various processes (for example, during a measurement process) executed according to set operating conditions (or during use) The situation that electronic devices and measuring devices become larger by arranging these switches) The pseudo operation switches A and B (numerical values) displayed in the same operating condition setting screen while observing the numerical values (setting values) displayed in the setting value display area etc. in the operating condition setting screen can be avoided. The change switches A and B) can be reliably operated without operating errors.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a relationship between a specified pressing force level L and “operation duration” and a selected change mode C; 10 is a flowchart of set value determination processing 20;

  Hereinafter, embodiments of an electronic apparatus and a measurement apparatus will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  A measuring apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an example of a “measuring apparatus”, and includes a measuring unit 2, an operation unit 3, a display unit 4, a control unit 5, and a storage unit 6. The measurement unit 2 is an example of a “measurement unit”, and is configured to be able to measure various physical quantities (electrical parameters: as an example, a current value, a voltage value, a resistance value, and a phase) of the measurement target. Specifically, the measurement unit 2 performs A / D conversion processing on the input signal Si under the control of the control unit 5 to generate measurement data Ds, and outputs the generated measurement data Ds to the control unit 5. In this case, in the measuring apparatus 1 of this example, an “electronic device” is configured by the constituent elements 3 to 6 excluding the measuring unit 2 described above.

  The operation unit 3 includes an operation switch for performing various operation condition setting operations such as a measurement processing condition (measurement condition) by the measurement unit 2 and a display result of a measurement result by the display unit 4, and a front side of the display unit 4. An operation signal S corresponding to a switch operation of an operation switch or a press operation of the touch panel (hereinafter also referred to simply as “operation” without being distinguished from each other) is provided. Output to the control unit 5. The display unit 4 is an operation condition setting screen (for example, the operation condition setting screen 10 shown in FIG. 2) for setting the operation condition of the measuring device 1 according to the control of the control unit 5, and the measurement process by the measurement unit 2. A measurement result display screen (not shown) for displaying the results is displayed. In addition, although the measuring apparatus 1 provided with the display part 4 is mentioned as an example and demonstrated, the structure which displays said various display screens on the display apparatus as an external apparatus is also employable.

  The control unit 5 comprehensively controls the measuring device 1. Specifically, the control unit 5 corresponds to a “processing unit” and, as will be described later, when the operation condition setting process for setting the operation condition of the measuring apparatus 1 is instructed, the operation shown in FIG. Various operation condition setting screens such as the condition setting screen 10 are displayed on the display unit 4 and the operation condition data D1 is generated based on the conditions (operation conditions) designated by the operation of the operation unit 3. ”Is executed. In this case, the operation condition setting screen 10 shown in FIG. 2 is a setting screen for setting “operation conditions (upper limit value and lower limit value) regarding the display range” which is one of a plurality of “operation condition setting screens”. The upper limit display area 11 for displaying the preset upper limit value, the lower limit display area 12 for displaying the preset lower limit value, the cursor display 13, the UP switch 14u, the DOWN switch 14d, and OK. Switch 15 and Cancel switch 16 are displayed.

  The UP switch 14u is an example of a “pseudo operation switch A imitating the numerical value change switch A”. As will be described later, when a portion of the touch panel of the operation unit 3 facing the UP switch 14u is pressed. (Hereinafter also simply referred to as “when the UP switch 14 u is operated”), the set value (upper limit value or lower limit value) in one of the upper limit value display area 11 and the lower limit value display area 12 selected by the cursor display 13. Value: A function (an example of “numerical value change switch A”) of increasing a value by increasing “an example of a numerical value that can be arbitrarily changed among conditions” is associated. In the measurement apparatus 1 of this example, as will be described later, while the operation of the UP switch 14u is continued, a process of increasing the numerical value by a predetermined change amount at a predetermined time interval is performed as “Processing”. A "is executed.

  The DOWN switch 14d is an example of a “pseudo operation switch B imitating the numerical value change switch B”. As will be described later, when a portion of the touch panel facing the DOWN switch 14d is pressed (hereinafter, referred to as “downward operation switch B”). (It is also simply referred to as “when the DOWN switch 14d is operated”), and the set value in one of the upper limit display area 11 and the lower limit display area 12 selected by the cursor display 13 is decreased and changed to a smaller value. Functions (functions as “numerical value change switch B”) are associated. In the measurement apparatus 1 of the present example, as will be described later, while the operation of the DOWN switch 14d is continued, the process of decreasing the numerical value by a predetermined change amount at a predetermined time interval is “process”. B ".

  Furthermore, the OK switch 15 is another one of the “pseudo operation switch”, and when the portion facing the OK switch 15 on the touch panel is pressed (hereinafter simply referred to as “when the OK switch 15 is operated”). The setting values (numerical values) displayed in the upper limit value display area 11 and the lower limit value display area 12 are determined as “the upper limit value of the display range” and “the lower limit value of the display range”, and these setting processes are performed. Is associated with the function that terminates. The Cancel switch 16 is another one of the “pseudo operation switches”, and when a portion facing the Cancel switch 16 on the touch panel is pressed (hereinafter, simply “Cancel switch 16 is operated”). ”),“ Display range upper limit value ”and“ display range lower limit value ”set before displaying the operation condition setting screen 10 on the display unit 4 are determined as these operation conditions, and the setting process is performed. Associated with the function to be terminated.

  In this case, in the measuring apparatus 1 of this example, a capacitive touch panel is employed as the above-described touch panel. As an example, when the user operates the touch panel with a fingertip, on the display screen of the display unit 4. A configuration is adopted in which an operation signal S indicating the coordinates of the operation part (coordinates of the part where the fingertip is in contact with the touch panel) is output. Therefore, the control unit 5 specifies the coordinates of the part touched by the user's fingertip based on the operation signal S, and the specified coordinates include “UP switch 14u, DOWN switch 14d, OK switch 15 and Cancel switch 16”. When the “pseudo operation switch” exists (when the specified coordinates are the part displaying the “pseudo operation switch”), it is determined that these have been operated and associated with each switch 14u, 14d, 15, 16 Execute the function.

  In this case, in a state where the user's fingertip is lightly touching the touch panel (a state where the pressing force on the touch panel is small), the area where the fingertip touches the touch panel is reduced. Further, in a state where the user's fingertip is strongly pressed against the touch panel (a state in which the pressing force against the touch panel is large), as a result of the fingertip being crushed, an area where the fingertip contacts the touch panel is widened. For this reason, by specifying the area where the fingertip is in contact with the touch panel based on the operation signal S, it is possible to specify the pressing force of the fingertip on the operation part on the display screen of the display unit 4. Therefore, in the measuring apparatus 1 of this example, the control unit 5 monitors the operation signal S output from the touch panel of the operation unit 3 and the area where the fingertip is in contact with the touch panel (“change in pressing force with respect to the numerical value change switch A”). Example of “parameter A that changes with the change of pressure” and an example of “parameter B that changes with the change of the pressing force on the numerical value change switch B”) are specified sequentially, and the level of the pressing force on the touch panel is specified based on the specified area. Configuration is adopted.

  Further, the control unit 5 displays the operation condition setting screen 10 on the display unit 4, that is, when it is instructed to start processing for setting the “display range upper limit value” or the “display range lower limit value”. Then, the set value determination process 20 shown in FIG. 6 is executed. In this case, in the measuring apparatus 1 of the present example, in the set value determination process 20, the pressing force specified as described above is the maximum specified in advance from the pressing force level L0 (a state where the fingertip is not in contact with the touch panel). The pressing force level LM (the pressing force level L0 <L1 <L2 <L3 <L4 <L5 <L6 <LM) is specified (refer to FIG. 3), and the specific result is obtained. The upper limit value display area 11 and the lower limit value display area 12 are stored in the storage unit 6 as “pressing force information” and also according to the pressing force level stored as “pressing force information”, “duration information” described later, and the like. A configuration is adopted in which a change mode (change amount and change time interval) for changing the set value (numerical value) is changed.

  Specifically, in the measuring apparatus 1 of this example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the UP switch 14u or the DOWN switch 14d is operated, “change amount: 1” and “change time interval: short (for example, 0. 2 seconds) "change mode C1," change amount: 10 "and" change time interval: short "change mode C2," change amount: 100 "and" change time interval: short "change mode C3," change amount " "1" and "change time interval: long (for example, 0.5 seconds)" change mode C4, "change amount: 10" and "change time interval: long" change mode C5, and "change amount: 100" The change value (numerical value) is changed in one of the six change modes of the change mode C6 of “change time interval: long” (hereinafter, also referred to as “change mode C” when these are not distinguished). ing.

  In this case, in this example, three “change amount: 1”, “change amount: 10”, and “change amount: 100” in each change mode C employed when the UP switch 14 u is operated are “change amount A”. "Change amount: 1", "Change amount: 10", and "Change amount: 100" in each change mode C employed when the DOWN switch 14d is operated are "Change amount B". It corresponds to. Further, in this example, two of “change time interval: 0.2 seconds” and “change time interval: 0.5 seconds” in each of the change modes C employed when the UP switch 14 u is operated are “time interval A”. "Change time interval: 0.2 second" and "Change time interval: 0.5 second" in each of the above-described change modes C employed when the DOWN switch 14d is operated are "time interval B". Is equivalent to.

  That is, in this example, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, “change amount A” is changed in steps of Ma = La = 2 according to the operation state of the UP switch 14u and the DOWN switch 14d, and “change amount B Is changed in Mb = Lb = 2 steps, “Time interval A” is changed in Na = La = 1 step, and “Time interval B” is changed in Nb = Lb = 1 step. Yes. In the measurement apparatus 1 of this example, as will be described later, the control unit 5 controls the operation signal S output from the touch panel, the change mode specifying data D0 (the change mode C selected at that time, and the operation). Based on the pressing force level L of the pressing force specified based on the signal S, the change mode C to be selected next is selected based on data that can specify the changing mode C to be selected (see FIG. 4), and the set value A configuration in which (numerical value) is changed is adopted.

  Further, the control unit 5 controls the measurement unit 2 to execute measurement processing according to the operation condition data D1 stored in the storage unit 6 and stores the measurement data Ds output from the measurement unit 2 in the storage unit 6. Let Further, the control unit 5 causes the display unit 4 to display a measurement result (measurement result display screen: not shown) based on the measurement data Ds stored in the storage unit 6. The storage unit 6 is a measuring unit based on the change mode specifying data D0, the operation condition data D1 generated by the control unit 5 in the “operation condition setting process (operation condition data generation process)”, and the operation condition data D1. The measurement data Ds output from the measurement unit 2 in the measurement process executed by 2 is stored. In this case, the measurement data Ds can be recorded on various information recording media such as a hard disk drive (hard disk), an optical disk drive (optical disk), and a magneto-optical disk drive (magneto-optical disk).

  When the measurement process for the input signal Si is executed by the measurement apparatus 1, first, operating conditions are set. Specifically, an operation condition setting screen (main screen: not shown) is displayed on the display unit 4 by operating the operation switch of the operation unit 3. Next, a setting item desired to set (or change) the operating condition is selected and a sub screen is displayed on the display unit 4. At this time, as an example, when “display range” is selected as the setting item, the operation condition setting screen 10 shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on the display unit 4. In this case, if the setting related to “display range” has never been performed before the operation condition setting screen 10 is displayed, the predetermined initial values are stored in the upper limit display area 11 and the lower limit display area 12. Each is displayed as a preset value. In addition, when the “display range” has been set before the operation condition setting screen 10 is displayed, the setting values set by the past setting operation are already stored in the upper limit display area 11 and the lower limit display area 12. Each is displayed as a set value.

  When the operating condition setting screen 10 is displayed, as shown in the figure, the cursor display 13 is displayed so as to overlap the part of the upper limit display area 11 and the upper limit display area 11 is selected ( That is, the “display range upper limit value” can be designated). At this time, the control unit 5 starts a set value determination process 20 shown in FIG. In the set value determination process 20, the control unit 5 first initializes “pressure information”, “duration information”, and “change mode information” (step 21). In this case, the “duration information” indicates that the pressing force level L specified at the time of pressing the touch panel becomes the pressing force level L included in the high pressing force level range or the low pressing force level range. The UP switch 14u and the DOWN switch 14d are configured with information that can specify the operation continuation time. The “pressing force level range” will be described later. Further, the “change mode information” is configured with information that can specify the change mode C selected at that time, and as described later, whenever a new change mode C is selected by the control unit 5, The change mode C is rewritten to information that can be specified.

  Next, the control unit 5 monitors whether or not a pressing operation has been performed on any part of the touch panel (step 22). Specifically, when any part of the touch panel is pressed and an operation signal S is output from the touch panel, the control unit 5 determines that the level of the pressing force applied to the touch panel is equal to or higher than the pressing force level L2. Is determined. At this time, if the level of the pressing force is less than the pressing force level L2, it is determined that “no operation” and monitoring of whether or not the pressing operation has been performed is continued. Further, when the level of the pressing force is equal to or higher than the pressing force level L2, the control unit 5 specifies the coordinates of the pressed portion based on the operation signal S, and the specified coordinates are the upper limit value display area 11, It is determined whether or not the lower limit value display area 12, the UP switch 14u, the DOWN switch 14d, the OK switch 15, and the Cancel switch 16 are displayed.

  At this time, when the specified coordinates are not the display parts of both the areas 11 and 12 and the switches 14u, 14d, 15 and 16 (that is, the “margin area” on the operation condition setting screen 10 is pressed) ), The control unit 5 determines that “no operation” and continues monitoring whether or not a pressing operation has been performed. On the other hand, when a pressing operation with a pressing force of the pressing force level L2 or more is performed and the coordinates of the pressing operation specified based on the operation signal S output at that time are other than the “margin area” (that is, both When any of the display areas of the areas 11 and 12 and the switches 14u, 14d, 15, and 16 is pressed), the control unit 5 determines that “there is an operation” (step 22). It is determined whether or not the operation is an operation of the UP switch 14u or the DOWN switch 14d (step 23).

  At this time, when the coordinate specified based on the operation signal S is the upper limit display area 11 (that is, when the upper limit display area 11 is pressed), the control unit 5 sets the cursor display 13 to the upper limit value. Overlaying the display area 11 (in this example, maintaining the state in which the cursor display 13 is overlaid on the upper limit value display area 11: processing defined according to the pressing operation on the display part of the upper limit value display area 11 Example: Step 24), the set value determination process 20 is once ended and then restarted. When the coordinate specified based on the operation signal S is the lower limit display area 12 (that is, when the lower limit display area 12 is pressed), the control unit 5 displays the cursor display 13 in the lower limit display area. 12 (one example of processing defined in accordance with the pressing operation on the display part of the lower limit display area 12: step 24), the set value determination processing 20 is once ended and restarted. As a result, the lower limit value display area 12 is selected (that is, a state in which the “lower limit value of the display range” can be designated).

  Further, when the coordinate specified based on the operation signal S is the display part of the OK switch 15 (that is, when the OK switch 15 is operated), the control unit 5 at that time, the upper limit display area 11 and the lower limit An example of processing defined by the setting value (numerical value) displayed in the value display area 12 as “the upper limit value of the display range” or “the lower limit value of the display range” (specified according to the pressing operation of the OK switch 15) : Step 24), the set value determining process 20 is terminated. Further, when the coordinate specified based on the operation signal S is the display part of the Cancel switch 16 (that is, when the Cancel switch 16 is operated), the control unit 5 before the operation condition setting screen 10 is displayed. The set “upper limit value of the display range” and “lower limit value of the display range” are determined as these operating conditions (an example of processing defined according to the pressing operation of the Cancel switch 16: step 24). The set value determination process 20 is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the coordinate specified based on the operation signal S is the display part of the UP switch 14u (when the UP switch 14u is operated: the area where the fingertip is in contact with the display part of the UP switch 14u is equal to or greater than the pressing force level L2. When the pressure is within the range of the area corresponding to the pressing force of: "An example when" the parameter A becomes a value within the parameter range corresponding to the high pressing force due to the increase of the pressing force "), the control unit 5 In addition to specifying the pressing force level L of the pressing force based on the operation signal S, the specified pressing force level L, the change mode C selected at that time, the duration, and the change mode specifying data D0 Based on this, the change mode C is selected (step 25). In this case, no change mode C is selected, and the level of the pressing force specified based on the operation signal S at this point of time is “0” immediately after the duration is initialized. When the pressure level is equal to or higher than the pressure level L2 (for example, the pressure level L6 or higher), the control unit 5 selects the change mode C1 as shown by the arrow A1 in FIG. 5 based on the change mode specifying data D0.

  Next, the control unit 5 changes the set value (numerical value) in the upper limit display area 11 with the selected change mode C1 (“change amount: 1, change time interval: short”) (step 26). As a result, the set value (numerical value) in the upper limit display area 11 is increased by “1” and changed to a larger value. Subsequently, the control unit 5 determines whether or not a change mode C different from the change mode C (until the change mode C is not selected in this example) that has been selected until immediately before is selected in Step 25 described above. That is, it is determined whether or not the change mode C has been changed (step 27). At this time, since the change mode C1 is newly selected from the state of “no change mode C selected”, the control unit 5 determines that the change mode C has been changed, and initializes the duration information ( In this example, there is no substantial initialization), and the operation continuation time of the UP switch 14u (that is, the elapsed time since the pressing force on the UP switch 14u becomes equal to or higher than the pressing force level L2) is started (step 28). ).

  Next, the control unit 5 determines that the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u is continued (step 29), and the time of the change time interval (in this example, the change mode C1 in this example) (in this example, the change mode C1). , 0.2 seconds) (step 30), and then returns to step 25 above. At this time, when the pressing operation at the pressing force level L6 or higher is continued, the control unit 5 selects the change mode C1 again and changes the numerical value in the upper limit value display area 11 (step 26). It is determined that the mode C has not been changed (step 27), and it is determined whether or not the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u is continued (step 29). Therefore, by continuing the operation of the UP switch 14 u with the same pressing force, the set value in the upper limit display area 11 is increased by “1” by 0.2 seconds and changed to a larger value.

  In the measuring apparatus 1 of this example, as will be described later, when the pressing force of the UP switch 14u becomes equal to or lower than the pressing force level L4, another change mode C is selected in the above step 26 and the set value ( The configuration in which the change time interval of (numerical value) is long is adopted. Further, in the measuring apparatus 1 of this example, as will be described later, when the pressing force of the UP switch 14u becomes equal to or lower than the pressing force level L1, it is determined that the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u is finished, and the set value (numerical value). A configuration is adopted that terminates the increase (change) of. Therefore, when the change at the change time interval of the change mode C1 is continued, the operation of the UP switch 14u is continued so that the pressing force does not become the pressing force level L4 or less.

  On the other hand, when, for example, 2 seconds have elapsed since the change mode C1 was selected as in the above example (when the duration time at which the count was started in step 28 has reached 2 seconds), the control unit 5 changes the change mode C1. Based on the specifying data D0, as shown by the arrow A2 in FIG. 5, the change mode C2 is newly selected (step 25), and the upper limit display area 11 is set with “change amount: 10, change time interval: short”. The value (upper limit value) is changed (step 26). Therefore, by continuing the operation of the UP switch 14u with the same pressing force, the set value in the upper limit display area 11 is increased by 10 at 0.2 second intervals and changed to a larger value ("elapsed time" An example of a process of “changing the change amount A so that the change amount A increases according to time”).

  Further, as in the above example, when, for example, 3 seconds have elapsed since the change mode C2 was selected (when the duration when the counting was started in step 28 has reached 3 seconds), the control unit 5 changes the change mode C2. Based on the specifying data D0, as shown by an arrow A3 in FIG. 5, a change mode C3 is newly selected (step 25), and the upper limit display area 11 is set with “change amount: 100, change time interval: short”. The value (upper limit value) is changed (step 26). Therefore, by continuing the operation of the UP switch 14u with the same pressing force, the set value in the upper limit display area 11 is increased by “100” by 0.2 seconds and changed to a larger value (“elapsed time”). Another example of the process of “changing the change amount A so that the change amount A increases with time”).

  Thus, in this measuring apparatus 1, the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u is continued with a certain amount of pressing force (in this example, the pressing force at which the area of the fingertip in contact with the touch panel is determined to be the pressing force level L6 or higher). As a result, the increase amount (change amount) of the set value (numerical value) increases in the order of “1”, “10”, and “100” in Ma = 2 stages, and increases at a 0.2 second interval. Be changed. Therefore, even if the preset value of the upper limit value (the set value displayed in the upper limit value display area 11 when the operating condition setting screen 10 is displayed) and the target set value are significantly different, The set value can be increased to a value near the target set value in a short time.

  On the other hand, when the numerical value in the upper limit display area 11 is increased to a value close to the target set value by the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u, the pressing force is kept below the pressing force level L4 while continuing the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u. Reduce. At this time, the control unit 5 specifies the pressing force level L of the pressing force based on the operation signal S, and the specified pressing force level L (for example, the pressing force level L2) is selected at that time. Based on the change mode C (in this example, the change mode C3), the continuation time at which counting was started in step 25, and the change mode specifying data D0, as shown by the arrow A4 in FIG. C6 is selected (step 25). Next, the control unit 5 changes the set value (numerical value) in the upper limit value display area 11 with the selected change mode C6 (“change amount: 100, change time interval: long”) (step 26).

  Thereafter, by continuing the operation of the UP switch 14u with the same pressing force (in this example, the pressing force level L2), the set value of the upper limit display area 11 is increased by "100" at intervals of 0.5 seconds. As a result of the change to a larger value, the amount of increase in numerical value per unit time can be reduced than when the change mode C3 is changed, and the set value in the upper limit display area 11 is the target set value. Can be avoided. In the measuring apparatus 1 of this example, as will be described later, when the pressing force of the UP switch 14u becomes equal to or higher than the pressing force level L5, another change mode C is selected in the above step 26 and the set value ( (Numerical value) change time interval is shortened. Further, in the measuring apparatus 1 of this example, as described above, it is determined that the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u is finished when the pressing force of the UP switch 14u becomes equal to or lower than the pressing force level L1. Therefore, when the change at the change time interval of the change mode C6 is continued, the operation of the UP switch 14u is continued so that the pressing force does not become the pressing force level L5 or higher or the pressing force level L1 or lower.

  In this case, although different from the above example, when the change mode C is not selected, the pressing force applied to the UP switch 14u in the state where the change mode C1 is selected as shown by the arrow A1 in FIG. When the level is L4 or less, as shown by the arrow A5 in the figure, the change mode C4 is selected (step 25), and the upper limit value is displayed in the change mode C4 ("change amount: 1, change time interval: long"). The set value (numerical value) in the area 11 is changed (step 26). Further, when the pressing force to the UP switch 14u is set to the pressing force level L4 or less in the state where the changing mode C2 is selected as indicated by the arrow A2 in the same figure, the changing mode C5 is changed as indicated by the arrow A6 in the same figure. When selected (step 25), the set value (numerical value) in the upper limit value display area 11 is changed in the change mode C5 (“change amount: 10, change time interval: long”) (step 26).

  As described above, in the measuring apparatus 1, when the set value (numerical value) is increased by pressing the UP switch 14u with a certain amount of pressing force, the pressing force with respect to the UP switch 14u is set to the pressing force level L4 or less. Thus, the change time interval can be lengthened without changing the increase amount itself. Therefore, when the set value in the upper limit display area 11 approaches the target set value, the amount of change of the set value per unit time is decreased, and the setting value being changed exceeds the target set value. It is possible to avoid the occurrence (an example of a configuration in which “the time interval A becomes longer as the pressing force decreases”).

  On the other hand, in the measuring apparatus 1, the change mode C6 is selected as described above (step 25), and the setting in the upper limit display area 11 is performed in the change mode C6 (“change amount: 100, change time interval: long”). When the value (numerical value) is being increased (step 26), the elapsed time after the change mode C6 is selected reaches, for example, 1 second in the state where the pressing force to the UP switch 14u is equal to or lower than the pressing force level L3. When the control unit 5 determines that the change mode C has been changed in step 27 and the duration time after the continuation time information is initialized in step 28 and then starts counting has reached 1 second, the control unit 5 Based on the mode specifying data D0, as shown by an arrow A7 in FIG. 5, the change mode C5 is newly selected (step 25), and the upper limit value is displayed with “change amount: 10, change time interval: long”. To change the set value of the band 11 (upper limit value) (step 26). Therefore, setting of the upper limit value display area 11 can be performed by continuing the operation of the UP switch 14u with the same pressing force level L (the pressing force level L2 in this example) when the change mode C6 is selected. The value is increased by “10” at 0.5 second intervals and changed to a larger value (an example of a process of “changing the change amount A so that the change amount A decreases according to the elapsed time”).

  Further, when the elapsed time since the change mode C5 is selected reaches, for example, 1.5 seconds while the state where the pressing force with respect to the UP switch 14u is equal to or lower than the pressing force level L3 (for example, the count is started in step 28). When the duration time reaches 1.5 seconds), the control unit 5 newly selects the change mode C4 as shown by the arrow A8 in FIG. 5 based on the change mode specifying data D0 (step 25). Then, the set value (upper limit value) of the upper limit value display area 11 is changed with “change amount: 1, change time interval: long” (step 26). Therefore, by continuing the operation of the UP switch 14u with the pressing force level L (the pressing force level L2 in this example) when the change mode C5 is selected, the setting of the upper limit value display area 11 is performed. Another example of processing in which the value is increased by “1” by 0.5 seconds and changed to a larger value (“change amount A is changed so that change amount A decreases according to the elapsed time”) ).

  As described above, in this measuring apparatus 1, the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u is continued with a certain amount of pressing force (in this example, the pressing force at which the area of the fingertip in contact with the touch panel is determined to be the pressing force level L3 or lower). As a result, the increase amount (change amount) of the set value (numerical value) decreases in La = 2 steps in the order of “100”, “10”, and “1”, and becomes a large value at 0.5 second intervals. Be changed. Accordingly, when the set value in the upper limit display area 11 approaches the target set value, the increase amount of the set value (numerical value) per unit time can be decreased and slowly changed, so that the upper limit display area When the set value (numerical value) in 11 exceeds the target set value and becomes a large value, or the set value (numerical value) in the upper limit value display area 11 is not changed to the target set value, the UP switch 14u is operated. It is possible to avoid the situation of stopping.

  On the other hand, for example, when the set pressure (numerical value) in the upper limit display area 11 approaches the target set value and the pressing force applied to the UP switch 14u is reduced to be equal to or lower than the pressing force level L3 (in the upper limit display area 11). When the difference between the set value and the target set value is large), the pressing force of the UP switch 14u is continued and the pressing force is increased to the pressing force level L5 or higher. At this time, the control unit 5 specifies the pressing force level L of the pressing force based on the operation signal S, and the specified pressing force level L (for example, the pressing force level L6) is selected at that time. Based on the change mode C (in this example, the change mode C4), the continuation time at which counting was started in the above step 25, and the change mode specifying data D0, as shown by the arrow A9 in FIG. C1 is selected (step 25). Next, the control unit 5 changes the set value (numerical value) in the upper limit display area 11 with the selected change mode C1 (“change amount: 1, change time interval: short”) (step 26).

  Thereafter, by continuing the operation of the UP switch 14u with the same pressing force (in this example, the pressing force level L6), the set value in the upper limit display area 11 is increased by “1” at intervals of 0.2 seconds. As a result of the change to a larger value, the amount of increase in the numerical value per unit time can be increased than in the change mode C4, and the set value in the upper limit display area 11 can be set in a short time. It becomes possible to approach the target set value. In this case, although different from the above example, when the pressing force to the UP switch 14u is set to the pressing force level L5 or more in the state where the change mode C6 is selected as shown by the arrow A4 in FIG. As shown by the arrow A10, the change mode C3 is selected (step 25), and the set value (numerical value) in the upper limit display area 11 is changed in the change mode C3 (“change amount: 100, change time interval: short”). It is changed (step 26). Further, when the pressing force for the UP switch 14u is set to the pressing force level L5 or more in the state where the changing mode C5 is selected as shown by the arrow A7 in the same figure, the changing mode C2 is changed as shown by the arrow A11 in the same figure. When selected (step 25), the set value (numerical value) in the upper limit display area 11 is changed in the change mode C2 (“change amount: 10, change time interval: short”) (step 26).

  Thus, in this measuring apparatus 1, by continuing the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u in a state where the pressing force is reduced to some extent, the numerical value is increased at the change time interval of the change mode C selected at that time. By changing the pressing force to the UP switch 14u to the pressing force level L5 or more when changing, the change time interval can be shortened without changing the increase amount itself. Therefore, although the set value in the upper limit display area 11 is close to the target set value, the pressing force on the UP switch 14u is decreased to decrease the increase amount of the set value (numerical value) per unit time. When the difference between the set value in the display area 11 and the target set value is large, the change time interval is shortened to increase the change amount of the set value per unit time, and the set value being changed is shortened to the target set value. It can be made closer in time (an example of a configuration in which “the time interval A becomes shorter as the pressing force increases”).

  On the other hand, as described above, the change mode C4 is selected (step 25), and the set value (numerical value) in the upper limit display area 11 is increased in the change mode C4 (“change amount: 1, change time interval: long”). By doing so (step 26), when the set value in the upper limit display area 11 becomes the target set value, the operation of the UP switch 14u is stopped. At this time, since the level of the pressing force specified based on the operation signal S is equal to or lower than the pressing force level L1, the controller 5 does not continue the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u (the pressing of the UP switch 14u). (Step 29), and as shown by an arrow A12 in FIG. 5, the set value (numerical value) displayed in the upper limit display area 11 at that time is tentatively determined as the upper limit (Step 31) Returning to step 22 described above, has the pressing operation to the display area of the upper limit display area 11 and the lower limit display area 12, the UP switch 14u, the DOWN switch 14d, the OK switch 15 and the Cancel switch 16 been performed? Monitor whether or not.

  Although different from the above example, when the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u is finished and the pressing level becomes equal to or lower than the pressing force level L1, the setting displayed in the upper limit display area 11 at that time Regarding the processing of step 31 for tentatively determining the value (numerical value) as the upper limit, as shown by arrows A13 to A17 in FIG. 5, the state in which the change mode C1 is selected, the state in which the change mode C2 is selected, The same operation is performed in the state where the change mode C3 is selected, the state where the change mode C5 is selected, and the state where the change mode C6 is selected.

  Further, when setting the lower limit value in a state where the set value in the upper limit value display area 11 is provisionally determined in step 31 (a state in which the control unit 5 monitors the presence or absence of a pressing operation), or the operation condition setting screen 10 When the lower limit value is immediately set immediately after the display unit 4 is displayed, the part of the lower limit value display area 12 is pressed. At this time, the control unit 5 determines that the lower limit display area 12 has been pressed (steps 22 and 23), and moves the cursor display 13 over the lower limit display area 12 (the lower limit can be set). The state is set: Step 24), the set value determining process 20 is once ended and restarted. Note that the method for setting the lower limit value is the same as the method for setting the upper limit value, and the description thereof will be omitted.

  Further, the method of increasing the set value (numerical value) by pressing the UP switch 14u and changing it to a larger value has been described. However, when the set value (numerical value) is decreased and changed to a smaller value, the DOWN switch 14d is changed. Is pressed. In this case, when the DOWN switch 14d is operated, the UP switch is changed except that the “setting value (numerical value decreasing process)” is executed instead of the “setting value (numerical value increasing process)” when the UP switch 14u is operated. The change mode C is selected in the same manner as in the operation of 14u (step 25), and the set value (numerical value) in the upper limit display area 11 or the lower limit display area 12 is decreased by the selected change mode C. It is done. Therefore, the description of changing the set value (numerical value) when the DOWN switch 14d is pressed in the set value determination process 20 is omitted.

  In this case, although different from the above example, when the level of the pressing force specified based on the operation signal S is equal to or higher than the pressing force level L2 in a state where no change mode C is selected, FIG. A configuration in which the change mode C4 is selected as indicated by an arrow Ax may be employed. After selecting the change mode C4, the pressing force level is equal to or higher than the pressing force level L5 and the changing mode C1 is newly selected, or the pressing force level is equal to or lower than the pressing force level L1 and the upper limit value display area. 11 or the procedure for provisionally determining a set value (numerical value) in the lower limit display area 12 is the same as in the above example, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  On the other hand, when the upper limit value and the lower limit value have been changed to the target set values by pressing the UP switch 14u and the DOWN switch 14d, the OK switch 15 is pressed. At this time, the control unit 5 determines that the OK switch 15 has been operated (steps 22 and 23), and sets the set value (numerical value) displayed in the upper limit value display area 11 and the lower limit value display area 12 as “display range”. "Upper limit value" and "lower limit value of display range" (step 24), the set value determination process 20 is terminated, and the operation condition setting screen (main screen) is displayed on the display unit 4. After this, if it is desired to set (or change) the operating conditions for the setting items other than “display range”, the desired setting item is selected and the operating condition setting screen (the operating condition for the selected setting item) is selected. ) Is displayed on the display unit 4, and an arbitrary set value is set.

  Further, when the setting work regarding all setting items desired to be set (or changed) is completed, the operation switch of the operation unit 3 is operated to close the operation condition setting screen (main screen). At this time, the control unit 5 generates the change mode specifying data D0 based on each set operating condition, and stores the generated change mode specifying data D0 in the storage unit 6. Thereby, the “operating condition data generation process” is completed, and the preparation for executing the measurement process is completed. Thereafter, by operating the measurement start switch of the operation unit 3, the measurement process for the measurement target is executed according to the set change mode specifying data D 0, and the measurement result is displayed on the display unit 4.

  Thus, in this measuring apparatus 1, in the “processing A”, the time interval (time interval A) for increasing the set value (numerical value) increases as the pressing force decreases, and the set value increases as the pressing force increases. This time interval is changed in Na = 1 step so that the time interval (time interval A) for increasing (numerical value) is shortened, and “parameter A (in this example, the area of the fingertip in contact with the touch panel)” is high. The “change amount A” is changed in Ma = 2 steps so that the “change amount A” increases according to the elapsed time from the value within the parameter range corresponding to the pressing force, and the “parameter A” is When “Processing B” is performed, “Change A” is changed in La = 2 stages so that “Change A” decreases according to the elapsed time after the value within the parameter range corresponding to the low pressing force is reached. As the pressing force decreases This time interval is set so that the time interval (time interval B) for decreasing the constant value (numerical value) becomes longer and the time interval (time interval B) for decreasing the set value (numerical value) becomes shorter as the pressing force increases. The “change amount B” is changed so that the “change amount B” increases in accordance with the elapsed time after the “parameter B” becomes a value within the parameter range corresponding to the high pressing force, while changing in Nb = 1 stage. Is changed in Mb = 2 steps, and “change amount B” is decreased so that “change amount B” decreases with the elapsed time after “parameter B” becomes a value within the parameter range corresponding to the low pressing force. "Is changed in Lb = 2 steps.

  Therefore, according to the measuring apparatus 1, a certain amount of pressing force (in this example, the pressing force level L equal to or higher than the pressing force level L6) is maintained after the pressing force is increased during the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u and the DOWN switch 14d. The amount of change (increase or decrease) of the set value (numerical value) increases by continuing the pressing operation, and the set value (numerical value) increases by increasing the pressing force of the UP switch 14u and the DOWN switch 14d. Since the change time interval is shortened, the set value can be brought close to the target set value in a short time even when the preset value and the target set value are greatly different. In addition, by reducing the pressing force of the UP switch 14u and the DOWN switch 14d, the set value (numerical value) change time interval becomes longer, and to some extent after the pressing force is reduced during the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u and the DOWN switch 14d. Of the set value (numerical value) by maintaining the pressing force (in this example, the pressing force level L exceeding the pressing force level L1 and not exceeding the pressing force level L3) and continuing the pressing operation. For example, by continuing the operation of the UP switch 14u and the DOWN switch 14d, the pressing force is reduced when the set value being changed approaches the target set value. As a result, the set value (numerical value) being set is larger than the target set value. (Or a small value exceeding the target set value), or the pressing operation of the UP switch 14u or the DOWN switch 14d is terminated before the set value (numerical value) being set reaches the target set value. Thus, the set value (numerical value) can be changed accurately and easily to the target set value. For this reason, according to this measuring apparatus 1, the set value of the numerical value among the operating conditions can be easily set to the target set value in a short time.

  Further, according to this measuring apparatus 1, it is determined that the “numerical value change switch A” has been pressed when the part facing the UP switch 14u on the touch panel is pressed, and the part facing the DOWN switch 14d on the touch panel is determined. By determining that the “numerical value change switch B” has been pressed when the button is pressed, for example, an “UP switch” configured by a pressure detection switch instead of the UP switch 14u (pseudo operation switch) may be provided. Unlike the configuration in which a “DOWN switch” configured by a pressure detection switch is provided in place of the DOWN switch 14d (pseudo operation switch), these are used less frequently (or are not used) during the measurement process. It is possible to avoid the situation that the measuring device 1 is enlarged by arranging the switch. The UP switch 14u displayed in the same operation condition setting screen 10 while viewing the set values (numerical values) displayed in the upper limit display area 11 and the lower limit display area 12 in the operation condition setting screen 10. Alternatively, the DOWN switch 14d (switches 14u and 14d displayed in the vicinity of both areas 11 and 12) can be reliably operated without making an operation error.

  Note that the configurations of the “electronic device” and the “measuring device” are not limited to the configuration of the measuring device 1 described above. For example, the measurement apparatus 1 including the operation unit 3 having a capacitive touch panel has been described as an example. However, instead of the capacitive touch panel, an “operation unit” having a pressure-sensitive touch panel is provided. It can also be configured. In the case of adopting such a configuration, unlike the above-described measuring apparatus 1 configured to include a capacitive touch panel, as an example, the pressure information itself output from the touch panel is expressed as “parameter A” or “ It is possible to specify the pressing level of the UP switch 14u and the DOWN switch 14d by monitoring as “parameter B”. Therefore, even when such a configuration / method is adopted, the set value (numerical value) can be changed in accordance with the pressing operation state of both the switches 14u and 14d, similarly to the measurement apparatus 1 described above.

  Further, the configuration in which the setting value (numerical value) is changed by operating the UP switch 14u and the DOWN switch 14d, which are “pseudo operation switches”, has been described. Instead of the “pseudo operation switch”, the pressure detection switch is replaced with the “UP switch”. It is also possible to employ a configuration in which the setting value (numerical value) is changed by a pressing operation on these switches provided as the “DOWN switch” in the operation unit 3. Even when such a configuration is adopted, the same effects as those of the measurement apparatus 1 can be obtained.

  Further, the “time interval A” is changed in Na = 1 step and the “time interval B” is changed in Nb = 1 step as an example, but the Na step and the Nb step are two or more steps. Any number of steps can be used. In this case, “Na” and “Nb” may be different numbers. In addition, although the description has been given by taking as an example the configuration in which “change amount A” is changed in Ma = La = 2 steps and “change amount B” is changed in Mb = Lb = 2 steps, the Ma step, Mb step, The La stage and the Lb stage can be one stage or any number of stages of three or more. In this case, “Ma”, “Mb”, “La”, and “Lb” may be different numbers.

  In addition, although the measurement apparatus 1 configured to be able to measure a current value, a voltage value, a resistance value, a phase, and the like has been described as an example of the “physical quantity to be measured”, instead of these physical quantities (or these It is also possible to employ a configuration for measuring various “physical quantities” such as temperature, humidity, luminance (luminous intensity) and illuminance. In addition, the “electronic device” is not limited to the “measuring device”, and in various “electronic devices” such as mobile communication terminals such as mobile phones and smartphones, music players, digital cameras, and portable personal computers, An operation mode similar to that of the measuring apparatus 1 can be employed.
