The continuous fuzzy measurement of energy of a single two-level system driven by a resonant external field is studied. An analysis is given in the framework of the phenomenological restricted path integral approach (RPI) (which reduces effectively to a Schrodinger equation with a complex Hamiltonian) as well as with reference to the microphysical details of a class of concrete physical realizations. Within the RPI approach it is demonstrated that for appropriately adjusted fuzziness, information about the evolution of the state of the system can be read off from the measurement readout E(t). It is shown furthermore how a measurement of this type may be realized by a series of weak and short interactions of the two-level system with a quantum mechanical meter system. After each interaction a macroscopic measuring apparatus causes the meter to transit into one of two states. The result is used to generate the energy readout E(t). In this way a complete agreement with the RPI approach is demonstrated which thus obtains an operational interpretation.
