A method can include generating raster images from digitized signals, each raster image including multiple pixels that each have a count of the number of signals that pass through it, and generating sets of ranges of counts from the totality of counts in a rasterizer image and selected limits on that totality. The method can also include generating mapped images from the raster images and sets of ranges of counts, each mapped image including multiple pixels that each have an output intensity determined by the specific range of counts that contains the corresponding rasterizer image pixel count.

A method for determining a correlated waveform, including acquiring a generalized waveform record with a repeating pattern, determining a possibly corrected recovered clock signal for the generalized waveform record, selecting a new sample rate that is higher than the clock rate by N time, where N is an integer greater than 1, resampling the generalized waveform so that the new samples fall precisely on two clocks instants of the recovered clock signal that define each unit interval, and on N−1 additional instants equally spaced between the two clock instants of each unit interval to create a resampled waveform, and forming the correlated waveform by taking the mean values of all samples from the resampled waveform having the same offset into a pattern repeat in unit intervals or fractions thereof.

A signal from an original oscillation circuit is inputted into a phase-locked loop circuit capable of continuously varying a frequency of this signal derived from the original oscillation circuit. The phase-locked loop circuit changes the frequency of the signal derived from the original oscillation circuit into another frequency corresponding to sweep rate variable information derived from a sampling control unit, and then outputs the signal having the changed frequency. This signal outputted from the phase-locked loop circuit is supplied to a variable frequency dividing circuit. This variable frequency dividing circuit frequency-divides the frequency of the signal outputted from the phase-locked loop circuit at an arbitrary frequency dividing ratio corresponding to the sweep rate range information given from the sampling control unit, and thereafter outputs the signal with the frequency-divided frequency as a sampling signal.

A signal acquisition and sampling system mounted in an oscilloscope probe includes an input buffer amplifier (30) featuring shunt feedback, offset capability, input bias current compensation, and very low input capacitance. Signal sampling is accomplished by a cascaded pair of differential sampling bridges including a fast track-and-hold stage (40) followed by a slow track-and-hold stage (50). The differential configuration of the bridges features common mode rejection of strobe signal coupling into the signal path and reduces aberrations and voltage droop. The fast track-and-hold stage features Schottky diode switching bridges (42A) and (42B), low value storage capacitors (44A) and (44B), thereby resulting in a fast tracking time. The slow track-and-hold stage features low-leakage diode-connected transistor switching bridges (52A) and (52B) and a FET buffer stage, thereby resulting in fast acquisition of the fast stage output and long hold time for quantization of the sample. A strobe signal is coupled through a cable (72) to a timing generator (80) on integrated circuit (20). The strobe signal causes the fast track-and-hold stage to briefly hold samples of the input signal while simultaneously causing the timing generator to drive the slow track-and-hold stage to quickly acquire the output of the fast stage and hold the acquired value for extended time intervals. The bandwidth of the fast stage is thereby combined with the stability of the slow stage.

The present invention is a method and apparatus for monitoring a plurality of AC input signals to a control system. An AC interrupt signal is generated, based on an AC system signal which is substantially phase-synchronous with the AC input signals, for an interrupt time period corresponding to a time period when the AC system signal exceeds a predetermined threshold voltage. The AC interrupt signal is verified and a timer is set for a pseudo-random time value. The AC input signals are sampled when the timer has reached the pseudo-random time value to determine the presence or absence of valid AC input signals.

A vector analyzer incorporates a set of five types of markers for the display, which facilitate the visual analysis of the magnitude, phase and time relationships of the I and Q components of the modulation states displayed. The five markers are: an I marker, a Q marker, a magnitude marker, a phase marker and a time marker. The I and Q markers indicate amplitude in the I and Q coordinates displayed on the X-Y displays. The magnitude marker indicates amplitude on the radial coordinate of the X-Y displays. The phase marker indicates relative phase on the angular coordinate of the X-Y displays. The time marker indicates the time coordinate on the displays, and controls the time instant displayed. The analyzer also incorporates a circuit for performing linear transforms on the I, Q, and time data which allows real time adjustment of the sampled signals and enables the signals to be displayed in a three dimensional projection mode. The linear transform can be used to correct the display for three common sources of error in vector modulated signals: amplitude imbalance, phase errors, and quadrature errors. After the display has been corrected, the correction factors are a measure of the errors in the input signal, or in the device demodulating the input signal.
摘要:
A predictive time base control circuit for a waveform sampling system of the type which converts a sequence of analog waveform samples into a sequence of digital quantities for storage in an addressable acquisition memory. The time base circuit generates a sampling control signal which initiates sampling at the end of a time interval of programmable duration following detection of a triggering event in the waveform, and which maintains sampling thereafter at regular intervals. The time base circuit permits the sampling system to operate in an equivalent time mode in which repetitive waveform sections are sampled at progressively skewed sampling intervals with respect to a repetitive triggering event. The sampling control signal is also frequency divided, delayed, and then applied as a write control signal to the sampling system acquisition memory. The time base control circuit includes a memory addressing circuit responsive to the write control signal for incrementing the address of the acquisition memory by an adjustable step size each time data is stored in the memory, thereby facilitating proper ordering of sample data in the memory.
摘要:
Sampling pulses are obtained by a plurality of sampling through holes which are formed at equal angular intervals in a disc encoder which is fixed to a crankshaft of a piston engine to be measured. An analog output from a pressure sensor for sensing the pressure inside a cylinder is sampled, held by the obtained sampling pulses and converted into a digital signal to provide digital measurement data. The digital measurement data is written into a RAM during a positive period of an internal clock pulse under the control of a direct memory access control circuit and the RAM is accessed by a CPU during a negative period of the internal clock pulse. The digital data read out of the RAM is undergone for the data arithmetic operation by the CPU in the realtime manner.
摘要:
A video synthesizer is adapted for connection to the input circuitry of an oscilloscope, and includes sampling and multiplexing circuitry for presentation of a multiplicity of input signals to a single channel of the oscilloscope. The signals are sampled sequentially, and the samples of respective ones of the signals are multiplexed with corresponding reference voltage levels of a voltage divider so as to vertically displace the signals on the face of the oscilloscope. For periodic input signals, the sequential sampling is repeated at a rate which is not harmonically related to the periodicity of the input signals to fully regenerate the signal waveforms on the oscilloscope. A memory is provided for storing intervals of the input signals in the case of nonperiodic signals, the stored signals then being outputted to the sampling and multiplexing circuitry. By presetting an address counter of the memory, and by selecting a data sampling rate of the memory, the displayed waveforms can be displaced along the x axis of the oscilloscope and expanded to facilitate visual inspection. To provide a maximum rate of sampling, the multiplexing is accomplished with an interlacing of the reference voltages to minimize voltage jumps and reduce the bandwidth of the sample sequence.
