Abstract
Abstract A man-machine interface type portable ultrasonic composite measuring apparatus includes an oscilloscope, a position-detecting panel mounted on the display surface of the oscilloscope, a keyboard for effecting a man-machine interface, and a computer which introduces position signals detected from the panel and contents designated by the keyboard. The waveforms to be observed include all objects to be measured, that can be observed in the form of electric signals and that form optimum ultrasonic echos. A position-detecting panel is constructed in the form of a touch panel.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
220 words
A man-machine interface type portable ultrasonic composite measuring apparatus comprising: a keyboard device for designating a certain mode from among a plurality of ultrasonic composite measuring modes; a microcomputer having a plurality of processing programs respectively corresponding to said plurality of composite measuring modes, and which reads one of said processing modes which corresponds to said mode designated by the keyboard device, and which processes specified information consisting of a measurement procedure, a measurement object and a measurement position, in accordance with the read-out processing program, and which takes in external measured information to be stored as measurement data; a display unit for displaying said measurement procedure, said measurement object and said measurement position obtained during said processing by said microcomputer; an oscilloscope device for directly displaying in real-time responsive observation wave signals relating to an object to be inspected, obtained in accordance with the displayed content in said display unit, from an ultrasonic probe, without storing them; a transparent position-detecting panel which is mounted on a display surface of said oscilloscope device and which inputs coordinate signals of designated points on said responsive observation signal waveform displayed on said display surface; and an A-D converter for converting coordinate signals inputted from said panel into digital signals and for sending said converted coordinate signals to the microcomputer as measurement information.
