摘要： A “no dead time” data acquisition system for a measurement instrument receives a digitized signal representing an electrical signal being monitored and generates from the digitized signal a trigger signal using a fast digital trigger circuit, the trigger signal including all trigger events within the digitized signal. The digitized signal is compressed as desired and delayed by a first-in, first-out (FIFO) buffer for a period of time to assure a predetermined amount of data prior to a first trigger event in the trigger signal. The delayed digitized signal is delivered to a fast rasterizer or drawing engine upon the occurrence of the first trigger event to generate a waveform image. The waveform image is then provided to a display buffer for combination with prior waveforms and/or other graphic inputs from other drawing engines. The contents of the display buffer are provided to a display at a display update rate to show a composite of all waveform images representing the electrical signal.

摘要： An improved digital trigger circuit has a plurality of data samples extracted from an input electrical signal for each sample clock cycle. The plurality of data samples are compared in parallel with a high threshold level and a low threshold level which provides hysteresis for noise rejection. Also the plurality of data samples are used to determine sub-sample trigger positioning. The comparison outputs are input to a digital trigger logic circuit for identifying a selected trigger event and generating a trigger for the acquisition of data from the input electrical signal for analysis and display. The digital trigger logic provides edge event triggering, pulse width triggering and transition time triggering, among others.

摘要： A waveform compression and display technique saves both a peak detected version (background version) and a decimated/lowpass filtered version (foreground version) of a sampled electrical signal. The two versions are displayed simultaneously overlaid together in a contrasting manner so as not to obscure information contained in either of them. The lowpass filtered version uses a series of simple lowpass filters with decimation to produce a single data stream from a plurality of data streams derived from the sampled electrical signal. The single data stream may then be subjected to additional filtering, such as a cascaded integrator-comb filter, to obtain a desired frequency bandwidth. When displayed, the peak detect pixels adjacent the decimated/lowpass filtered pixels may be adjusted in intensity so that the low frequency information of the lowpass filtered waveform is not lost, while the peak detect pixels further from the lowpass filtered pixels are intensified to highlight the high frequency information. Alternatively the background version intensity may be controlled by a user control over a first range from zero to a predetermined maximum, and the foreground version may be controlled over a second range from a default intensity to a maximum, saturated intensity.

摘要翻译： 波形压缩和显示技术节省了采样电信号的峰值检测版本（背景版本）和抽取/低通滤波版本（前景版本）。 这两个版本以对比的方式同时叠加在一起，以免遮蔽其中任何一个中的信息。 低通滤波器版本使用一系列具有抽取的简单低通滤波器，以从采样的电信号导出的多个数据流产生单个数据流。 然后可以对单个数据流进行额外的滤波，例如级联的积分器梳状滤波器，以获得期望的频率带宽。 当显示时，与抽取/低通滤波的像素相邻的峰值检测像素的强度可以被调整，使得低通滤波波形的低频信息不会丢失，而从低通滤波像素进一步增加峰值，从而突出显示 高频信息。 或者，背景版本强度可以由用户在从零到预定最大值的范围内的控制来控制，并且可以在从默认强度到最大饱和强度的第二范围内控制前景版本。

摘要： A fast rasterizer uses a fast memory that has a bit-set port for receiving data and a totally independent readout and clear port for outputting a waveform image. The fast memory is organized into rows and columns corresponding to the rows and columns of a raster display device, with each memory location or cell holding a single bit. The fast memory is divided into parallel sections so that one column of each section may be written into each clock cycle, resulting in the possibility of writing a plurality of columns into the fast memory each clock cycle. Each memory cell is set when a row and column write signal for the cell are asserted, and is read out and cleared when a row and column read signal for the cell are asserted. Row logic using thermometer codes is used to set the row lines for the selected column in each section.

摘要： A data management method for a long record length memory that is used for data acquisition writes data samples into an initial circular buffer within the memory having a size equal to a pre-trigger time. When a first trigger event occurs, the data samples are then written into a linear region after the circular buffer within the memory. The data sample acquisition in the linear region continues until a post-trigger and new pre-trigger time have elapsed after a last trigger event, at which point the acquisition terminates and the new pre-trigger time becomes a new circular buffer for a next trigger event. In this way all trigger events are captured with associated pre-trigger and post-trigger data.

摘要： Aircraft landing gear comprised of a wheel hub motor/generator disks stack, includes alternating rotor and stator disks mounted with respect to the wheel support and wheel. The wheel hub motor/generator can provide motive force to the wheel when electrical power is applied, which may be applied prior to touch-down thus decreasing the difference in relative velocities of the tire radial velocity with that of the relative velocity of the runway thus greatly reducing the sliding friction wear of said tire. After touchdown the wheel hub motor/generator may be used as a generator thus applying a regenerative braking force and/or a motorized braking action to the wheel. The energy generated upon landing maybe dissipated through a resistor and/or stored for later use in providing a source for motive power to the aircraft wheels for the purpose of taxiing and ground maneuvers of said aircraft.
