Oscilloscope system for acquiring, processing, and displaying information

A display system which comprises in combination,

• (a) analog display means,
• (b) analog input means,
• (c) digital input means, and
• (d) switch means selectively coupled to one of said analog and digital input means and to said display means, said switch means including first converter means responsive to said selection of a digital input to convert said digital input to an analog input, further including second converter means coupled to said analog input means for converting said input signal to digital form and storage means connected to said second converter means for storing ordered pairs of signals in digital form indicative of individual points of analog signals at said analog input means, wherein said second converter means and said storage means comprise:
• a memory and means coupled to said memory and said analog input means which includes an amplifier coupled to said analog input means, a first sample and hold circuit coupled to said amplifier, a trigger generator coupled to said amplifier, a time base generator driven by said trigger generator, a second sample and hold circuit driven by said generator, a strobe circuit driving said first sample and hold circuit, a delay circuit coupled to said strobe circuit and said second sample and hold circuit, said first sample and hold circuit providing data for storage in said memory, said second sample and hold circuit providing the address in said memory for storage of said data.
