Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, an example in which a measurement result display device of the present invention is applied to an optical spectrum analyzer device will be described.
As shown in
The optical spectrum analyzer device 1 in the present embodiment is constituted by a computer device (not shown) provided with an optical module for acquiring the spectrum waveform of an optical signal which is input through the optical cable 2. This computer device includes a central processing unit (CPU), a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), and a non-volatile recording medium such as a hard disk device or a flash memory.
A program for causing the computer device to function as the optical spectrum analyzer device 1 is stored in the ROM and the non-volatile recording medium of this computer device. That is, the CPU executes the program stored in the ROM and the non-volatile recording medium using the RAM as a work area, and thus the computer device functions as the optical spectrum analyzer device 1.
In the present embodiment, the measurement unit 10 and the display control unit 13 are constituted by a CPU. Meanwhile, the measurement unit 10 may be constituted by other devices such as a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or an integrated circuit.
The storage unit 11 is constituted by a recording medium such as a RAM or a non-volatile recording medium. The display unit 12 is constituted by a display device provided integrally with or detachably from the computer device. The setting unit 14 is constituted by an input device such as a keyboard device or a pointing device provided integrally with or detachably from the computer device.
The measurement unit 10 is configured to perform a measurement on an optical signal which is input through the optical cable 2 by sweeping and analyzing, for each wavelength (λ), the measurement values of various types of measurement items such as “Power” (power level [dBm] of an optical signal), “OSNR” (Optical Signal to Noise Ratio, signal/noise ratio [dB]), “Noise” (power level [dBm] of noise), “Δλ” (shift amount [nm] of a wavelength), and “BW 3 dB” (wavelength width [nm] of a 3 dB lower level from the maximum value of power), and to store the measurement values of various types of measurement items in a recording medium or the like constituting the storage unit 11.
Allowable values such as allowable upper limit values and allowable lower limit values according to various types of measurement items are stored in the storage unit 11. Here, there are measurement items for which allowable upper limit values or allowable lower limit value are not specified, as allowable values, depending on measurement items.
For example, “OSNR” is configured such that an allowable lower limit value is specified, but an allowable upper limit value is not specified. Reversely, “BW 3 dB” is configured such that an allowable upper limit value is specified, but an allowable lower limit value is not specified. Therefore, flags indicating whether allowable upper limit values and allowable lower limit values of various types of measurement items are valid are stored in the storage unit 11.
Meanwhile, since allowable upper limit values and allowable lower limit values according to various types of measurement items are referred to by the display control unit 13 as described later, these values are stored in the storage unit 11 regardless of whether being valid.
For example, in a case where an allowable upper limit value is valid and an allowable lower limit value is invalid, a value obtained by subtracting a constant according to a measurement item from the allowable upper limit value is stored as the allowable lower limit value in the storage unit 11. In addition, in an allowable upper limit value is invalid and an allowable lower limit value is valid, a value obtained by adding a constant according to a measurement item to the allowable lower limit value is stored as the allowable upper limit value in the storage unit 11.
Meanwhile, allowable upper limit values and allowable lower limit values according to various types of measurement items, and flags indicating whether the allowable upper limit values and the allowable lower limit values are valid may be able to be selected from a plurality of presets stored in a non-volatile recording medium or the like by the setting unit 14, or may be able to be individually input therefrom.
For example, as shown in
As shown in
The display control unit 13 disposes the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 at display positions which are set in advance in the measurement result image 20. The display positions of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 are common between each of the measurement result images 20. In addition, the display control unit 13 disposes the measurement value indicator 23 at a display position which is calculated from the allowable upper limit value and the allowable lower limit value, the display positions of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22, and the measurement value measured by the measurement unit 10.
That is, the display control unit 13 disposes the measurement value indicator 23 at a display position relative to the display positions of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22. Specifically, in a case where the allowable upper limit value is set to Vu, the allowable lower limit value is set to Vb, the display position of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 is set to Yu, the display position of the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 is set to Yb (here, the display position indicates a position in the longitudinal direction of the displayable region 24; the same is true of the following Ym), and the measurement value measured by the measurement unit 10 is set to Vm, the display control unit 13 calculates a display position Ym of the measurement value indicator 23 in accordance with the following expression.
Ym={(Vm−Vb)/(Vu−Vb)}×(Yu−Yb)+Yb
That is, with the longitudinal direction of the displayable region 24 estimated as the axial direction of one-dimensional graph, the measurement value indicator 23 is displayed at a position relative to the display positions of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22.
As shown in
On the other hand, for example, as shown in
The display control unit 13 indicates whether the measurement value measured by the measurement unit 10 is within an allowable range according to a measurement item with the coloring of the displayable region 24 of the measurement value indicator 23. For example, as shown in
Here, the display control unit 13 specifies allowable ranges according to various types of measurement items on the basis of allowable upper limit values and allowable lower limit values stored in the storage unit 11 with respect to respective measurement results and flags indicating whether allowable upper limit values and allowable lower limit values of various types of measurement items are valid.
That is, in a case where each flag indicates that the allowable upper limit value and the allowable lower limit value are valid, the display control unit 13 sets a range between the allowable upper limit value and the allowable lower limit value to an allowable range. In a case where each flag indicates that the allowable upper limit value is valid and the allowable lower limit value is not valid, the display control unit 13 sets a range equal to or less than the allowable upper limit value to an allowable range. In a case where each flag indicates that the allowable upper limit value is not valid and the allowable lower limit value is valid, the display control unit 13 sets a range equal to or greater than the allowable lower limit value to an allowable range.
In association therewith, in a case where any one of the allowable upper limit value and the allowable lower limit value is an allowable value which is not valid, the display control unit 13 does not display the indicator 21 or 22 indicating an allowable value which is not valid of the allowable upper limit value or the allowable lower limit value on the display unit 12.
Specifically, in a case where each flag indicates that the allowable upper limit value is valid and the allowable lower limit value is not valid, as shown in
In a case where each flag indicates that the allowable upper limit value is not valid and the allowable lower limit value is valid, as shown in
In addition, as shown in
Further, as shown in
Meanwhile, the displayable region 24 indicated by the measurement value indicator 23 is not limited to a rectangle as shown in
Meanwhile, color display of the displayable region 24, the measurement value indicator 23, and the determination result indicator 25 may be linearly changed as in an embodiment described later.
In the above description, the display control unit 13 makes a list of how much difference is present between the measurement value of each measurement item and the allowable upper limit value and the allowable lower limit value, with respect to the measurement results of a plurality of measurement items, depending on the display positions of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21, the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 and the measurement value indicator 23, but may make a list of how much difference is present between the measurement value of each measurement item and the allowable upper limit value and the allowable lower limit value, depending on the coloring of a specific region of the measurement result image 20.
For example, as shown in
The display control unit 13 linearly changes the coloring of the measurement value display region 27 in accordance with a distance between the display positions of the intermediate value indicator 26 and the measurement value indicator 23. That is, with the traverse direction of the displayable region 24 estimated as the axial direction of one-dimensional graph, the measurement value indicator 23 is displayed at a position relative to the display positions of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22, and the color of the region (measurement value display region 27) interposed between the intermediate value indicator 26 and the measurement value indicator 23 is further changed with the display position of the measurement value indicator 23.
For example, the display control unit 13 colors the measurement value display region 27 with green in a case where a distance between the display positions of the intermediate value indicator 26 and the measurement value indicator 23 is close to 0, and colors the measurement value display region 27 so as to change gradually from green to yellow as the distance between the display positions of the intermediate value indicator 26 and the measurement value indicator 23 increases.
Specifically, the measurement value display region 27 is colored with RGB=(0, 255, 0) in a case where the distance between the display positions of the intermediate value indicator 26 and the measurement value indicator 23 is close to 0, an R component of the measurement value display region 27 is set in accordance with the distance between the display positions of the intermediate value indicator 26 and the measurement value indicator 23, and the measurement value display region 27 is colored with RGB=(255, 255, 0) in a case where the distance between the display positions of the measurement value indicator 23 and the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 or the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 arrives at 0.
Meanwhile, it goes without saying that a color component changed linearly may be other color components without being limited to those described above. In addition, other elements such as brightness or chroma may be changed.
In a case where the measurement value measured by the measurement unit 10 is not within an allowable range according to a measurement item, it is preferable that the display control unit 13 colors the measurement value display region 27 so that the measurement value is different greatly from that in a case of being within an allowable range, that is, an operator easily identifies that the measurement value is outside of a range. For example, in the above-described example, in a case where the measurement value measured by the measurement unit 10 is not within an allowable range, the display control unit 13 colors the measurement value display region 27 with red, that is, RGB=(255, 0, 0).
In addition, in the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the display control unit 13 gradually changes a specific color component (R component in the above-described example) of the coloring of the measurement value display region 27 in accordance with the distance between the display positions of the intermediate value indicator 26 and the measurement value indicator 23, but the display control unit may stepwise change the color component in accordance with the distance between the display positions of the intermediate value indicator 26 and the measurement value indicator 23. For example, the display region may be colored with green in a case where the measurement value indicator 23 is in the vicinity of the intermediate value indicator 26, yellowish green in a case where the measurement value indicator is in the vicinity of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 or the allowable lower limit value indicator 22, yellow immediately before the measurement value indicator arrives at the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 or the allowable lower limit value indicator 22, and red after the arrival.
Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, in a case where a relation of measurement value=intermediate value is established and the measurement value display region 27 is not generated, a line thicker than that of the intermediate value indicator 26 is displayed behind the intermediate value indicator 26, and the thick line may be displayed with green and be recognized.
In the above description, the display control unit 13 displays the measurement result image 20 including both the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 indicating an allowable upper limit value and an allowable lower limit value, on the display unit 12. However, the measurement value measured by the measurement unit 10 is necessarily further biased to either the allowable upper limit value side or the allowable lower limit value side than to the intermediate value (however, a case of measurement value=intermediate value is excluded).
Therefore, as shown in
In addition,
On the other hand,
The position of the measurement value indicator 23 is determined from the measurement value and the positions of the intermediate value indicator 26 (right side or left side) and the allowable value indicator 28, in the same viewpoint as that in the above-described embodiment.
In a display example shown in
Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, in a case where a relation of measurement value=intermediate value is established and the measurement value display region 27 does not occur, a line thicker than the right side or the left side which is the intermediate value indicator 26 is displayed behind the side, and the thick line may be displayed with green.
A modification aspect of the aspect of
In addition,
The end-point terminal of the encircling line region 29 extends just before arrival at the whole circumference of the displayable region 24. A space is present from the position of twelve o'clock to the left side, and thus it can be understood that
Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, in a case where a relation of measurement value=intermediate value is established and the measurement value display region 27 is not generated, a radius position to be a starting point of the measurement value display region 27 is displayed by a thick line and the thick line may be displayed with green.
In addition, the display control unit 13 may cause each of the measurement result images 20 shown in
In addition, a measurement result display method in all the embodiments includes a display control step, and the display control step is executed by the display control unit 13.
In addition, in all the embodiments, all the measurement result images 20 constituting the measurement result image list 100 as shown in
As described above, in one of the present embodiments, the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 are disposed at display positions which are set in advance in the measurement result image 20 as positions indicating an allowable upper limit value and an allowable lower limit value, and the measurement value indicator 23 is disposed at a display position calculated from the display positions of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 and the measurement value measured by the measurement unit 10. Thereby, it is possible to make a list of how much difference is present between an allowable value and the measurement value of each measurement item measured by the measuring instrument 10 in a discriminable state.
In addition, in one of the present embodiments, whether the measurement value measured by the measurement unit 10 is within an allowable range is indicated by the coloring of the displayable region 24, and thus it is possible to recognize whether the measurement value measured by the measuring instrument 10 is within an allowable range.
In addition, in one of the present embodiments, whether the measurement value measured by the measuring instrument 10 is within an allowable range is indicated by the coloring of the measurement value indicator 23, and thus it is possible to recognize whether the measurement value measured by the measuring instrument 10 is within an allowable range without occupying the displayable region 24 of the measurement result image 20.
In addition, in one of the present embodiments, the determination result indicator 25 indicating whether the measurement value measured by the measuring instrument 10 is within an allowable range with coloring is displayed outside of the displayable region 24, and thus it is possible to recognize whether the measurement value measured by the measuring instrument 10 is within an allowable range without occupying the displayable region 24 of the measurement result image 20.
In addition, in one of the present embodiments, coloring is linearly changed in accordance with a distance between the display positions of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 or the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 and the measurement value indicator 23, and thus it is possible to visually discriminate a difference between an allowable value and the measurement value of each measurement item measured by the measuring instrument 10 up to a finer level.
In addition, in one of the present embodiments, in a case of a measurement item having only any one of the allowable upper limit value and the allowable lower limit value, a value separated by a predetermined constant from one allowable value is stored as the other allowable value, and only the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 or only the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 indicating the one allowable value is displayed on the display unit 12. Thereby, even in a case of the measurement item having only any one of the allowable upper limit value and the allowable lower limit value, it is possible to appropriately dispose the measurement value indicator 23.
In addition, in one of the present embodiments, the measurement value indicator 23 is displayed so as to be across the displayable region 24 in a direction intersecting the direction of increase or decrease in numerical value, and thus the region can be intuitively recognized by an operator.
In addition, in one of the present embodiments, the intermediate value indicator 26, and the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 as positions indicating an allowable upper limit value and an allowable lower limit value are disposed at display positions which are set in advance in the measurement result image 20, the measurement value indicator 23 is disposed at a display position calculated from the display positions of the allowable upper limit value indicator 21 and the allowable lower limit value indicator 22 and the measurement value measured by the measuring instrument 10, and the display of the measurement value display region 27 is changed in accordance with the difference between the display positions of the intermediate value indicator 26 and the measurement value indicator 23. Thereby, it is possible to make a list of how much difference is present between an allowable value and the measurement value of each measurement item measured by the measuring instrument 10 in a discriminable state.
In addition, in one of the present embodiments, only half of a region on a side where the measurement value display region 27 is present in the measurement result image 20 is displayed, and thus it is possible to make a list of how much difference is present between an allowable value and the measurement value of each measurement item measured by the measuring instrument 10, in a more finely and visually discriminable state.
In addition, in one of the present embodiments, the displayable region 24 is displayed in a rectangular shape, or is displayed in a fan shape having a deformed rectangle, and thus the region can be intuitively recognized by an operator.
In addition, in one of the present embodiments, a plurality of measurement result images 20 are arranged and displayed in a lattice shape, and thus it is possible to notice the entire measurement results in perspective.
Meanwhile, in the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the measurement result display device of the present invention is applied to an optical spectrum analyzer device, but the measurement result display device of the present invention can also be applied to other measuring devices such as a logic analyzer device and a spectrum analyzer device.
Hereinbefore, the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed, but it is obvious that changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention. All such modifications and equivalents are intended to be included in the claims.
