Abstract
A Method for a measurement system, wherein the measurement system includes a touch-screen, a control-unit for the touch-screen, a measurement hardware, a measurement application and a gesture detection unit, wherein the measurement application interacts with the measurement hardware. In a first step the control-unit detects a position and/or a movement of one or more physical objects on and/or near the touch-screen. In a second step the gesture detection unit assigns the position and/or the movement of one or more physical objects to one gesture within a set of gestures. In a third step the gesture detection unit communicated the detected gesture to the measurement application. Furthermore, the measurement application performs a different function for the same detected gesture depending on a user interface of the measurement application which is displayed on the touch-screen when the gesture is detected.
