Patent attributes
A device for the dimensionally variable display of a function chart on a display (10) of a laboratory apparatus, including a processing unit (14) that accesses data storage means (16, 18, 20) for digital laboratory data to be displayed as a function chart, prepares the digital laboratory data for depiction on the display, and can be manually operated via mechanically actuated keys and/or switching means (24), wherein the processing unit for performing the dimensional change of the depicted two-dimensional function chart is designed in such a way that a predetermined dimensional change in the abscissa toward a target range is performed as a reaction to actuating the first key and/or switch (28, 30) and shown on the display in such a way that the target range occupies a predetermined region of the abscissa, and the function chart is displayed along the ordinate in such a way that a predetermined range of ordinates automatically expands the region between a function maximum or a function minimum in the target range, and a reference point in the target range.
