Abstract: Apparatus is described for displaying, on a display device having a number of spatially separated indicating positions such as a television monitor screen or a matrix of display lamps, the states of a number of elements, each elemental state being primarily indicated by signals applied over one of a number of indicating lines. The lines are connected to display converter modules which are arranged to scan the lines in sequence to produce a composite output signal which is applied to the display device. Where the number of lines is large, the serialisation of the line states may be done in stages, the first stage being the derivation of a separate composite signal from each of a number of groups of lines. The second stage then consists of deriving a final output signal by scanning the first-stage composite signals in turn. The disclosure also deals with the use of similar converter modules for performing both the first stage and the second stage scans. It is also shown that the timing and synchronising signals needed to control the scanning and the distribution of the output signals to the display device may also be provided by similar converter modules.

Abstract: In a display system for indicating error conditions in groups of registers. The names of a group of registers are carried on an exchangeable slide from which they are projected on to a screen. An array of lamps is positioned behind the screen, one lamp being associated with each register name. A code area on each slide is sensed to identify the particular group of registers corresponding to the names on the slide and to control the connection of each one to its associated lamp thus to provide a visual indication of the state of each register in the group.
