Patent ID: 8497864

Claim:
A method for displaying measurement values on a two-dimensional, pixel-based display device of a measuring device, comprising: sampling and digitizing the measurement values; the sampled and digitized measurement values forming measurement points within a two-dimensional coordinate system; wherein the resolution of each measurement point according to time and/or value is higher than the resolution of the two-dimensional, pixel-based display device; wherein the measurement points on the two-dimensional, pixel-based display device are connected to form a continuous measurement-point curve, if the measurement points are not disposed on directly adjacent pixels; to determine the pixels of the continuous measurement-point curve between two measurement points to be displayed, taking into consideration the position of the adjacent measurement points within the associated pixels, if the measurement points are not disposed on directly adjacent pixels; to determine the pixels of the continuous measurement-point curve between two adjacent measurement points to be displayed, which are vertically and horizontally offset, calculating one or more transition points of the continuous measurement-point curve across the boundaries between the pixel rows and pixel columns; displaying the continuous measurement-point curve from the first of the two adjacent measurement points to the first transition point in the pixel row or respectively pixel column of the first measurement point; displaying the continuous measurement-point curve from the first transition point to the last transition point in the respectively exceeded pixel row or respectively pixel column; and displaying the continuous measurement-point curve from the last transition point to the second of the two adjacent measurement points in the pixel row or respectively column of the second measurement point, wherein the calculation of the one or more transition points of the continuous measurement-point curve takes into account the time interval Δt 1 (k) and/or value interval of the k-th measurement point at the start of the next image column m+1 and the time interval Δt 1 (k) and/or value interval indicating how far the k+1-th point is disposed in the column m+1.
