System and method for receiving purchase information for a client system,
e.g., a measurement system. A configuration diagram visually representing
a current configuration of the client system is displayed. Multiple
product icons are displayed representing products (hardware and/or
programs) available for use in the client system. User input is received
graphically associating at least one first product icon with the
configuration diagram, where the first product icon represents a first
product, and the user input indicates a desire to purchase the first
product. An updated configuration diagram is displayed representing the
configuration of the client system after receiving the user input,
including the first product icon. Pricing information for the first
product is displayed in response to receiving the user input. User input
initiating purchase of the first product may be received in response to
displaying the pricing information, and the product may be provided to
the user.
