Patent ID: 8718125

Claim:
A device for the determination and display of synchronization statuses of a receiver-end communications path in an electronic measuring instrument or telecommunications device, comprising: a plurality of synchronization stages; and a display element, wherein a received signal is subjected to the plurality of synchronization stages in a defined time sequence and the electronic measuring instrument or telecommunications device comprises a corresponding synchronization unit for each synchronization stage to be implemented, wherein each synchronization unit is adapted for determining at least one parameter, the at least one parameter indicating the synchronization status of the corresponding synchronization unit, the indicated synchronization status is one of a plurality of possible synchronization statuses, and the plurality of possible synchronization statuses comprises a successful synchronization status and an unsuccessful synchronization status, wherein the device is adapted for displaying on the display element, based on the parameters, the synchronization statuses of the synchronization units along the receiver-end communication path, wherein the display element displays a plurality of blocks and each block on the display element represents a synchronization unit of the measuring instrument or telecommunications device, and wherein one block on the display element represents an FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation) or an IFFT (inverse Fast Fourier Transformation).
