Description

Test and/or measurement system, computer-implemented method of collecting signal data, and computer program product Technical Field The present invention relates to a test and/or measurement system. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer implemented method of collecting signal data. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer program product. Background In modern test and/or measurement equipment, such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal analyzers, etc., a lot of information may be collected, but due to the screen structure of the test and/or measurement equipment, this information cannot be displayed simultaneously, i.e. at the same time. Thus, in the prior art, it is known to use a tab to provide different windows for different information, thereby enabling a user to manually switch between different information by clicking on the corresponding tab. The different information may relate to long tables whose content is not fully but only partially displayed, and to completely different information, like different charts or graphs of the same signal, wherein the different charts may be obtained by using different parameters. However, when performing a screenshot of the provided information, only the currently displayed information is stored, not all available information. In other words, the corresponding information associated with the inactive tab is not available in the screenshot. In the prior art, the user has to manually and actively change the settings of the test and/or measurement device, in particular the display, while performing a plurality of screen shots while displaying different information in order to collect all available information, which is neither comfortable nor user friendly. Thus, there is a need to collect all available information in a more efficient and user friendly manner. Disclosure of Invention The present invention provides a test and/or measurement system. The test and/or measurement system includes a processing circuit configured to process signals. The processing circuit is configured to determine at least a first presentation based on the first parameter and a second presentation based on the second parameter when processing the signal. The second parameter is different from the first parameter. The test and/or measurement system includes a display coupled to the processing circuitry. The display is configured to display either the first presentation or the second presentation simultaneously. Thus, for example, due to space limitations of the display, the display is not configured to display both presentations simultaneously. The test and/or measurement system includes a storage medium configured to store first data associated with a first presentation and second data associated with a second presentation. The invention provides a computer-implemented method of collecting signal data, wherein the method comprises the steps of: -processing the received signal; -determining, by the processing circuit, at least a first presentation based on a first parameter and a second presentation based on a second parameter when processing the received signal, wherein the second parameter is different from the first parameter; Outputting a display control signal to simultaneously display the first presentation or the second presentation on the display, and -Outputting a storage control signal to store first data associated with the first presentation and second data associated with the second presentation in a storage medium. Herein and hereinafter, the term "circuitry" is understood to describe suitable hardware, or a combination of hardware and software configured to have a particular function. The hardware may include CPU, GPU, FPGA, ASIC or other types of electronic circuitry, among others. The main idea of the invention is to provide interactive screenshots through the test and/or measurement system, so that it is not necessary to manually use different display settings to display all available information, nor to manually make different screenshots of different available information when using different display settings. Instead, the test and/or measurement system provides different data, namely first data and second data, which are associated with different presentations that the display cannot simultaneously display. Thus, the test and/or measurement system may store invisible information, so that the invisible information may also be analyzed afterwards when taking into account the obtained screen shots. Different parameters (e.g., first and second parameters based on which the corresponding presentation is determined) may be associated with different illustrations, such as tables containing values or graphs/charts (waveforms) graphically showing values. Even though the display cannot display both presentations at the same time due to limitations of the display, the presentations may be stored digitally, i.e. first data associated with
