Patent ID: 7919702

Claim:
A method for displaying a received measurement value, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a plurality of labels in a pattern of a circular arc, wherein: (1) the plurality of labels corresponds to a plurality of respective measurement values; (2) moving clockwise or counter-clockwise on the arc between any one of said labels represents a first measurement increment; (b) identifying a target measurement value; (c) identifying which one of the plurality of respective measurement values corresponds to the target measurement value; (d) identifying an occurrence of a received measurement value; (e) identifying which one of the plurality of respective measurement values corresponds to the received measurement value; (f) identifying a first label corresponding to the target measurement value; (g) identifying a second label corresponding to the received measurement value; (h) creating a first line connecting the first label and the second label, wherein: (1) the first line is a first color if the target measurement value and the received measurement value are separated by the first measurement increment; (2) the first line is a second color if the target measurement value and the received measurement value are separated by a first multiple of the first measurement increment; (3) the first line is a third color if the target measurement value and the received measurement value are separated by a second multiple of the first measurement increment; (4) the first line is a fourth color if the target measurement value and the received measurement value are separated by a third multiple of the first measurement increment; (5) the first line is a fifth color if the target measurement value and the received measurement value are separated by a fourth multiple of the first measurement increment; and (6) the first line is a sixth color if the target measurement value and the received measurement value are separated by a sixth multiple of the first measurement increment.
