INTERACTIVE SCALABLE DIGITAL OSCILLOSCOPE DISPLAY
First Claim
1. A data display apparatus comprising:
- an image display device operable to produce a display; and
a computer coupled with said display device including data storage means for storing waveform data representative of a waveform having a plurality of data segments, and display signal means responsive to said waveform data for producing display signals representative thereof and for providing said display signals to said monitor for producing a waveform display thereon representative of said waveform wherein said waveform display presents a plurality of said segments in different colors.

Abstract
A preferred data display apparatus (10) includes an engine analyzer (14), computer (16) and a display device (18). The computer (16) receives waveform data representative of a waveform characteristic of engine operation from the analyzer (14) and produces a waveform display on the device (18) representative of the waveform. The waveform display includes segments (30a, 30b, 30c) displayed in different colors and in a three-dimensional representation. In preferred forms, a mouse (20) is used to snap a cursor (32) along the waveform and display includes amplitude and time data representative of the position coordinates of the cursor (32) and thereby representative of the cursor'"'"'s position on the waveform. The preferred apparatus is operable to display waveforms derived from different sources.
