1. A method for controlling a measurement device, wherein the method comprises the steps of:
displaying a measurement trace on a touchscreen display of the measurement device,
analyzing a subset of measurement data represented by the measurement trace on the basis of at least one target measurement parameter,
searching for the at least one target measurement parameter,
running a synchronization routine on measurement settings, wherein the synchronization routine attempts to lock on the target measurement parameter via correlation with a reference waveform and recovery of a modulated signal symbol rate in the case that a spectrum is displayed, or via correlation with a reference waveform and a burst detection algorithm in the case that a magnitude is displayed,
executing a calculation, in parallel while the measurement settings are adjusted, in order to check if certain criteria are fulfilled by the current measurement settings,
snapping the measurement settings, if said criteria are fulfilled,
finding possible snap positions corresponding to the snapped measurement settings in advance by analyzing over an available time and/or bandwidth, and graphically displaying said snap positions,
based on a double tap touch gesture with respect to the touchscreen display, causing a search for a signal analysis to be performed in a localized region around the position of the double tap touch gesture,
wherein the double tap touch gesture comprises two successive touches,
wherein the subset of measurement data is determined on the basis of at least one user measurement parameter set by at least one user input, and
wherein the at least one user measurement parameter comprises at least one of bandwidth, acquisition time, or trigger offset.
