Patent ID: 8797815

Claim:
A measuring device, comprising: a first storage region having a first number of memory cells of a first cell size, the first number of memory cells corresponding to a number of addresses associated with stored test values measured by the measuring device, with every memory cell of the first storage region being rigidly assigned to an address; a second storage region having a second number of memory cells of a second cell size; a third storage region having a third number of memory cells of a third cell size; and a control unit for storing test values in the storage regions in a cumulative manner, separated according to addresses, for storing the test values only in the first storage region, if the test value for the respective address does not exceed the first cell size, for storing test values which exceed the first cell size jointly in memory cells of the first storage region and memory cells of the third storage region, and for storing associated addresses of the test values which exceed the first cell size in the corresponding memory cells of the second storage region.
