A test and measurement instrument has a user interface configured to allow a user to provide one or more user inputs, a display to display results to the user, a memory, one or more processors configured to execute code to cause the one or more processors to receive a waveform array containing waveforms resulting from sweeping one or more parameters from a set of parameters, recover a clock signal from the waveform array, generate a waveform image for each waveform, render the waveform images into video frames to produce an image array of the video frames, select at least some of the video frames to form a video sequence, and play the video sequence on a display. A method of animating waveform data includes receiving a waveform array containing waveforms resulting from sweeping one or more parameters from a set of parameters, recovering a clock signal from the waveforms, generating a waveform image from each of the waveforms, rendering the waveform images into video frames to produce an image array of the video frames, selecting at least some of the video frames to play as a video sequence, and playing the video sequence on a display.

The present invention provides a measuring device (1, 11) for measuring signals (2, 12), the measuring device (1, 11) comprising a data memory (4, 14) configured to store device data (5, 15) for the measuring device (1, 11), and a data interface (6, 16) connected to the data memory (4, 14) and configured to read the device data (5, 15) from the data memory (4, 14) and output at least a part of the read device data (5, 15) to an external memory device (7, 17) in a storage mode and to read device data (5, 15) from the external memory device (7, 17) and store the read device data (5, 15) in the data memory (4, 14) in a recovery mode. The present invention further provides a corresponding method for such a measuring device (1, 11).

An apparatus for coupling a test and measurement instrument to a device under test comprises a clip structured to be attached between two conductive portions of the device under test, and an insert structured to be removably installed in the clip. The insert is configured to provide a current path between the two conductive portions of the device under test. In embodiments, the insert comprises a resistive element, which may be a round rod resistor. Additional embodiments may be described and/or claimed herein.
