摘要:
A cathode ray tube video display device is adapted to display wide aspect ratio signals by reducing the vertical scanning amplitude of the scanning raster. The scan is collapsed in the vertical direction without reducing the number of lines used to display the active picture, leaving unscanned bands at the top and bottom of the display. The device can change between a normal raster scanning mode and such a collapsed wide screen mode automatically in response to an indicator in the received video signal.

In an alternating sweeping system for use in an oscilloscope of the type wherein a sweeping signal and a delayed sweeping signal are alternately supplied to a horizontal deflection circuit of the oscilloscope, and wherein a unblanking signal and a delayed unblanking signal are alternately supplied to a brightness modulation circuit, widths of the delayed sweeping signal and the delayed unblanking signal made to be less than one half of width of the sweeping signal and the unblanking signal so that the delayed blanking signal and the delayed unblanking signal are used a plurality of times during an interval in which the sweeping signal and the unblanking signal are used once.

A drive circuit for an electrostatic deflection type cathode-ray tube where the drive circuit includes an amplifier and a load. At least one diode is connected between the output of the amplifier and the load and at least one push-pull emitter follower circuit is provided, the bases of whose transistors are connected to opposite terminals of the diode, the cathode-ray tube being deflected by the output of the push-pull emitter follower circuit.

A system for indicating the sweep rate of an oscilloscope time base. A counter is enabled by a sweep gate signal to permit clock pulses having a predetermined repetition rate to be counted during the time a sweep-driving ramp waveform is generated. The count output, which is proportional to the length of a time-base sweep, is decoded to generate specific control signals indicative of the sweep rate thereof. The control signals may then be used by a utilization means to provide a visual readout of the time-base sweep rate or to provide auto ranging for a digital voltmeter scaled in time units for time interval measurements.

A ramp generator for a chart recorder or the like and a chart recorder for permanently recording information on recording media by sampling means for sampling signals is described. The ramp generator generates a ramp signal whose magnitude gradually changes in response to movement of the recording media rather than time. The ramp signal thus derived is applied to a strobe comparator via a slow ramp control circuit as the reference level thereof for producing a strobe pulse to drive the sampling gate and thereby sampling a signal applied thereto.

AN IMPROVED SWEEP CIRCUIT FOR AN OSCILLOSCOPE OR THE LIKE INCLUDES A PLURALITY OF SWEEP GENERATORS OPERATED BY A PLURALITY OF SELECTABLE GATING CIRCUITS. THE GATING CIRCUITS ARE BIASED SUCH THAT EACH GATING CIRCUIT, EXCEPT A SELECTED GATING CIRCUIT, CLAMPS A RESPECTIVE SWEEP GENERATOR IN A NONOPERATIVE CONDITION. A COMMON INPUT TRIGGER RECEIVING CIRCUIT NOT ONLY RECEIVES INPUT TRIGGERING SIGNALS, BUT ALSO FORMS A MULTIVIBRATOR WITH A SELECTED GATING CIRCUT. THIS MULTIVIBRATOR IS OPERATIVE FOR CAUSING THE SELECTED GATING CIRCUIT TO CLAMP ITS ASSICATED SWEEP GENERATOR IN A NONOPERATIVE CONDITION ONLY FOR THE DURATION OF AN OPERATING PERIOD OF THE MULTIVIBRATOR, CORRESPONDING TO THE HOLDOFF PERIOD DESIRED FOR THE SWEEP GENERATOR. IN THE MULTIVIBRATOR, THE SELECTED GATING CIRCUIT INCLUDES THE TIMING MEANS FOR DETERMINING A HOLDOFF TIMING PERIOD APPROPRIATE FOR THE ASSOCIATED SWEEP GENERATOR. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE MULTIVIBRATOR''S OPERATING PERIOD, THE SELECTED GATING CIRCUIT CAUSES THE ASSOCIATED SWEEP GENERATOR TO INITIATE A SWEEP WAVEFORM. SELECTION OF A DESIRED SWEEP WAVEFORM AS WELL AS THE SELECTION OF AN APPROPRIATE HOLDOFF PERIOD MAY THUS BE ACCOMPLISHED BY MEANS OF SELECTING A PROPER GATING CIRCUIT.
