    摘要: A digital blanker for scanned displays is provided which turns off the electron beam on a Cathode Ray Tube whenever the beam is in a pre-defined area on the screen. A high speed analog to digital converter is utilized to digitize the position of either a raster or randomly scanned CRT beam. Once the beam position is digitized, the resulting number is used as an address to an EPROM. The data in the EPROM is coded to cause the CRT beam to be blanked if the beam is positioned in the predefined area where blanking is required.

    摘要: A system is disclosed which allows two image signal sources with different update rates to timeshare a single calligraphic display monitor, such that the resulting image is a combination of the image data from both sources. The image signals from one source are monitored and analyzed by the system controller, which is adapted to locate temporal locations of the correct duration and frequency in the update cycle when the first source is not writing to the monitor. The controller controls the triggering of write signals by the second source to occur in the located temporal location in the write cycle of the first source. The controller also controls an analog switch for switching the image signals to the monitor during the times when the second image source is writing to the monitor. By controlling the timing of write signals from the second source, the two sources are maintained in the correct phase relationship with no overlap of write signals.

    摘要: In a multi-window system for setting a plurality of windows on the screen for independent display in each window, a novel display control method is disclosed in which a visible region of a given window is determined from the positions and overlapped relations between the windows on the display screen, and display data is selectively applied to the visible region. The visible region is checked for crossing between an object window and another window making up a reference window on the screen, and if they cross each other, the object window is divided into subregions, while the subregion not overlapped with the reference window is regarded as a new object region, which is collated with another reference window and subdivided. This process of collation and division is repeated. A display output is thus applied sequentially to the subregions which are found to be a visible region.

    摘要: A visual indication of the relationship between first and second electrical signals, such as the left and right channel signals in a stereophonic audio system, is provided through use of a video vectorscope. The first and second signals are used to modulate the amplitude of two sinusoidal waves at a subcarrier frequency and in phase quadrature, so as to synthesize the chrominance portion of a composite video signal. The two modulated sine waves are additively combined, and the resulting signal is applied to the input terminal of the vectorscope.

    摘要: A color cathode ray tube has raster scan color zones defined by X and Y positional signals derived from a stroke vector generator and stored in a digital memory. Raster scan and stroke vector displays are alternately presented in a hybrid display. The display face of the tube is scanned by a plurality of raster lines and a color transition point is defined by the intersection of a stroke vector with a raster line. The X and Y addresses of the intersection points define the raster line, pixel element, and color at the transition point. The system is arranged so that the X and Y addresses are provided by the stroke vector generator in synchronous relation with the color transition points, and read into memory during the stroke vector refresh period. During the raster scan refresh period, the memory contents are recalled in synchronism with the raster scan, passed through a digital to analog converter, and then applied to the display tube to provide filled-in color zones superposed on the stroke vector display. The reduced memory requirements and controller access time permit dynamically rotating symbology in a synthetic display for aircraft flight instrumentation.

    摘要: A vector generator includes a linear charge pump in the form of a DAC with a constant but variable current output that can charge a capacitor connected between the output and one of the input terminals of an operational amplifier. A second constant current generator having an output current one-half that of the maximum output current of the DAC and of opposite polarity also is provided for charging the capacitor, the constant current generators being so connected to the capacitor that it can be charged either positively or negatively. A switching network controls whether the capacitor is charging or not depending on the state of the switching network. A second DAC with a constant but variable output voltage is provided and produces an output indicative of the coordinate of the vector to be drawn. The voltage on the capacitor is compared to the output voltage of the second DAC, and, when they are equal, a control signal is produced that changes the state of the switch to terminate charging of the capacitor.

    摘要: With a directed beam imaging system, a method is presented employing a low-pass filter in the positional signal path, a time-discrete positional signal, and precompensation of this time-discrete signal for phase and amplitude errors of the overall positional control circuitry. As a consequence of this method, the uncompensatable vector nonlinearities of the prior art vector stroke are obviated, the useable system bandwidth or stroke per unit time is extended beyond the prior art to the maximum driveable frequency, and in many text and graphics applications fewer strokes are needed to produce the desired image.

    摘要: A combined logic timing and state analyzer comprises an internally clocked, timing analyzer section receiving a first set of logic signals, and an externally clocked, state analyzer section receiving a second set of logic signals. The timing analyzer section samples the first set of logic signals, as well as the external clock signal associated with the second set of logic signals, at a rate determined by the internal clock pulses and stores the samples in a first set of memories. The state analyzer section samples the second set of logic signals at a rate determined by the external clock pulses and stores the samples in a second set of memories. Data introduction into the memories terminates when they are triggered, as in the event of a malfunction of the system being investigated. The logic analyzer further includes a display circuit for repetitively reading out the first and the second sets of memories and for causing a display device to visually present the output data of the first memory set in the form of a timing diagram and the output data of the second memory set in the form of a state table. The time relationship between the two display formats can be readily ascertained since the timing diagram includes a waveform, or other visual representations, indicative of the external clock pulses used for sampling the second set of logic signals.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for plotting graphics or images such as arrows and grids, for example, on a display device such as a cathode ray tube (CRT) screen. The method includes generating a plotting string for the image to be displayed, with the plotting string including a repeat factor and a control factor for each segment of the image to be displayed, with the repeat factor containing the number of times a plotting character is to be repeated to produce the length of an associated segment in the image, and with the control factor containing x and y offsets for the associated segment. The method also includes utilizing the associated control factor to establish direction along x and y coordinates on the screen of the CRT for a segment in the image, and utilizing the associated repeat factor to determine the number of times the plotting character is to be repeated on the screen along a line established by the associated control factor to thereby produce the length of the associated segment. This process is repeated for each of the segments in the image.
