Abstract
A system for displaying information including a central processing unit, the central processing unit receiving real-time image data consisting of at least one of waveform and picture data, and web input data and producing a first graphics layer of web data, a second graphics layer of graticule data, and a third graphics layer of real-time data, a memory connected to the central processing unit to store the first, second and third graphics layers, a graphics processor to retrieve the first, second and third graphics layers from the memory and to generate a display window, and a display device to display the display window.
Claims19
A system for displaying information, comprising:
- a central processing unit, the central processing unit receiving real-time image data consisting of at least one of waveform and picture data, and web input data and producing a first graphics layer of web data, a second graphics layer of graticule data, and a third graphics layer of real-time data;
- a memory connected to the central processing unit to store the first, second and third graphics layers;
- a graphics processor to retrieve the first, second and third graphics layers from the memory and to generate a display window;
- and
- a display device to display the display window.
A method of combining different types of display data, comprising:
- receiving, at a central processing unit, web data and real-time image data consisting of at least one of waveform and picture data;
- generating, by the central processing unit, a first graphics layer of web data from the web data, a second graphics layer of graticule data;
- and a third layer of real-time data;
- storing the first, second, and third graphics layers in memory;
- retrieving, with a graphics processing unit, the first, second and third graphics layers from memory;
- and
- producing, with the graphics processing unit, a composite display window of the first, second and third graphics layers.
