摘要： A method of capturing instrument data using a communications device includes sending an actuation signal to a camera to take a photograph of at least one instrument, one of either transmitting or receiving a trigger message between the communications device and the at least one instrument, storing the photograph in a memory on the communications device, determining associated information for the photograph, and transmitting the photograph, associated information and user information to a network. A communications device has a camera having an actuator, at least one communications link, a memory, and a processor configured to execute instructions that cause the processor to: send an actuation signal to the camera to take a photograph of an instrument when a user activates the actuator; send a trigger message to the instrument to save instrument data; store the photograph in the memory with associated information about the photo including user information; and transmit at least the photo, associated information, and the user information to a remote location.

摘要： A method of capturing instrument data using a communications device includes recognizing an action performed by a user on the communication device, one of either transmitting or receiving a trigger message between the communications device and at least one instrument, storing instrument data in a memory on the at least one instrument, and transmitting the instrument data and user information to a network. A test system includes a test and measurement device having at least one communications link, a memory, and a processor configured to execute instructions that cause the processor to receive a message through the communications link, save instrument data into the memory, and transmit the instrument data to a remote location; and a communications device having at least one communications link, a memory, and a processor configured to execute instructions that cause the processor to recognize an action performed by a user, send the message to the test and measurement device, store associated information including user information, and transmit the user information to the remote location.
