Methods of and system for receiving transmitting oscilloscope signals
First Claim
1. A system for receiving oscilloscope signals comprising:
- means for storing incoming digital signals serially transmitted from a remote location as words each identifying both vertical channel and time base gate component signals;
means for converting the digital signal words stored in the storing means into analog vertical channel and time base gate component signals; and
means for displaying an oscilloscope signal in response to the analog vertical channel and time base gate component signals.

Abstract
A system for transmitting traces of an oscilloscope (16) to a remote locan. A transmitter circuit (18) digitizes and transmits the traces to the remote location. A receiver circuit (24) at the remote location receives the transmitted signals and delivers these signals to a destination oscilloscope (26). At the transmitting location, the vertical output signal of the oscilloscope is amplified and fed to an analog-to-digital converter. The digitized output signal of the converter and the oscilloscope'"'"'s timebase gate signal are stored in a memory circuit and subsequently transmitted to the remote location via a first modem (20). At the remote location, the receiver circuit (24) comprises a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART) interfacing with a second modem (22), a memory circuit for storing the transmitted signals, and associated circuitry for restoring the oscilloscope signal'"'"'s amplitude. The timebase gate signal of the transmitting oscilloscope (16) is used to trigger the destination oscilloscope (FIG. 1).
