Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circuit for generating a video signal representing a measurement signal according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a circuit for generating video signals is already known, with which measurement signals can also be represented.
  • the known circuit has a video memory circuit designed as RAM.
  • a horizontal address control circuit is connected to the video memory circuit and sequentially addresses a number of memory cells of the video memory circuit in synchronism with the horizontal synchronization signal, in each of which digital values of the measurement signal are stored.
  • the known horizontal address control circuit effects a complete reading of the memory content of the video memory circuit with the passage of each line of the video signal currently being generated.
  • a representation of the stored measurement signal appears with each line scan of the video signal in synchronization with the horizontal synchronization signal.
  • a vertical control circuit generates a vertical signal which represents the instantaneous vertical position, that is to say the height of the respectively written image line. Furthermore, the known circuit for generating a video signal representing a measurement signal contains a comparison circuit connected downstream of the video memory circuit, which also has the output signal of the Vertical control circuit is supplied. The comparison circuit always generates a signal when the vertical signal matches the output signal of the video memory circuit analog converter. In other words, the comparison signal generated by the comparison circuit indicates that the measurement signal curve present at the output of the video memory circuit has a value which corresponds to the level which the vertical signal indicates. The comparison signal thus indicates the intersection of the measurement signal and the vertical signal.
  • This signal is used to drive a video signal modulator, which controls the voltage of the video signal as a function of the comparison signal between the black level and the white level.
  • the horizontal synchronization signal and the vertical synchronization signal are added to the output signal of the video signal modulator and the resulting video signal is supplied to a video display device.
  • the measurement signal appearing on the screen shows step-like or jagged distortions, especially in the area of steep signal edges, and thus has a signal course which differs from the original measurement signal course.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop a circuit according to the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that an improved display of a measurement signal is possible with it.
  • the circuit according to the invention thus enables a clearly improved in the case of continuous, steady signals Quality of the screen display of the measurement signal.
  • a further increase in the quality of the screen display of measurement signals is achieved in that the comparison signal generated by the comparison circuit assumes a maximum value if the vertical signal matches the output signal of the video D / A converter, and that the comparison signal increases with the difference between the vertical signal and the output signal decreases steadily, and if the difference exceeds a limit value, it assumes the value which represents the absence of the point of the measurement signal in the currently generated line of the video signal.
  • the latter value is the white level for a black representation of a measurement signal on a white background, and the black level of the video signal for a white representation of the measurement signal against a black background.
  • the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter circuit is preferably between one third and one tenth of the line frequency multiplied by the number of pixels per line, since in this case the shape of the measurement signal shown is practically without an on restriction of the representable measurement signal frequency range occurs. In other words, there is no need to present measurement signals whose period duration is shorter than, for example, three pixels, since such signals can no longer be represented as vibrations due to the grid being too coarse.
  • the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter circuit is preferably set in the range between 1 and 10 MHz.
  • Easier to record short-term events such as B. short pulses is achieved in that on the output side of the comparison circuit an increase in the comparison signal with its output signal quickly, a drop in the comparison signal only corresponding to a predetermined time constant with its output signal following comparison signal broadening circuit is connected.
  • Such a detection of short-term events can be helpful in particular in the medical field for displaying signals derived from a patient by means of transducers.
  • a processing of the measurement signal that is independent of the processing of the video signal is achieved in that a buffer circuit for from the Measurement signal data formed measurement signal is connected to a data input of the video memory circuit, and that the memory content of the buffer circuit can be stored in the video memory after the generation of a video signal representing a field.
  • This structure enables measurement signal data management, which can be largely decoupled from the video clock.
  • the horizontal address control circuit has a pixel clock generator which, in synchronism with the horizontal synchronization signal, generates a pulse signal with a line frequency multiplied by the number of pixels per line, the horizontal address control circuit having the current address of a memory cell to be read out of the video memory circuit generating first counter, which is connected to this pixel clock generator, and the count value of which can be varied upon generation of each line starting from a start address as a function of the pulse signal of the pixel clock generator.
  • the start address of the first counter remains constant for at least one field.
  • the measurement signal is preferably reproduced in a representation moving quasi-continuously to the left edge of the screen.
  • the buffer circuit has a microcomputer which changes the current start address of the first counter by a predetermined start address difference compared to the start address of the first counter when generating the previous field before generating a video signal representing a field.
  • the second counter of the horizontal address control circuit which is also connected to the Pixel clock generator is connected and generates an overflow signal after the counting of a number of pulses of the pixel clock generator corresponding to the number of pixels of a picture line of a desired length, beginning with a second starting address.
  • This overflow signal preferably causes a logic circuit to be reset in synchronization with the pulses from the pixel clock generator, which logic circuit is set when the horizontal synchronization signal occurs, again preferably in synchronization with the pulses from the pixel clock generator.
  • the logic circuit controls the loading of the first and second counters with the first and second start addresses of the counters during their reset state.
  • a vertical signal of particularly high accuracy in relation to the number of lines is formed by the circuit for generating the vertical signal if it has a third counter, which counts the pulses of the horizontal synchronization signal and is reset by the vertical synchronization signal, the third counter driving a programmable read-only memory whose output is connected to the vertical D / A converter.
  • This configuration of the circuit for generating the vertical signal not only has the advantage of a high temporal and amplitude-related accuracy of the vertical signal, but also enables the timing of the vertical signal to be easily adapted by suitable programming of the read-only memory.
  • the read-only memory is preferably programmed in such a way that the circuit for generating the vertical signal outputs a sawtooth-shaped vertical signal with increasing count values of the third counter, which has a number of sawtooth-shaped ramps corresponding to the number of measurement signals that can be simultaneously displayed.
  • a specific line area of the screen which corresponds to a count value range of the third counter, is preferably assigned to each measurement signal to be displayed.
  • the output signal of the programmable read-only memory and thus also the output signal of the downstream vertical D / A converter run through a quasi-continuous ramp. With such a vertical signal control, a plurality of measurement signals can be displayed.
  • a transducer 1 generates a measurement signal, which is fed to an analog-digital converter 2 (A / D converter 2).

  • the differential amplifier 11 is connected to an intensity control circuit 12.
  • the intensity control circuit is a circuit with the transmission characteristic sketched in Fig. 1, i.e. generates a maximum output signal at a zero value of the input signal, the output signal decreasing steadily with increasing absolute amount of the input signal to above a posi tive or negative limit value for the input signal to assume the value zero on the output side.
  • the output signal of the intensity control circuit is used to control a subsequent video signal modulator 13, to which a black level U and a white level U white are fed.
  • the resulting output signal of the video signal modulator 13 is combined with a horizontal synchronization signal from a horizontal synchronization signal circuit 14 and with a vertical synchronization signal from a vertical synchronization signal circuit 15.
  • the signal resulting at the summation point is a complete video signal, which is used to control a subsequent video playback device 16.
  • FIG. 2 Reference numerals in FIG. 2, which correspond to those according to FIG. 1, denote the same or similar parts.
  • Each data output bus of the dual-port video RAM 5 is connected to completely identical circuits described in more detail below. 2 that the upper right circuit part and the middle right circuit part are constructed completely identically. A one-off description of the upper right-hand circuit part is therefore sufficient, which also applies analogously to the middle right-hand circuit part, the elements of which are identified by the same, but apostrophic reference numerals.
  • the data output bus 17 is connected to a hold circuit 18, which has a clock input 19, which is connected to a pixel clock generator 100, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 3 and which generates the pixel clock signal PLC.
  • a digital-to-analog converter 8 is connected to the holding circuit 18 and generates an impressed current at its output 6 which corresponds to the data word present on the input side.
  • the output 6 of the D / A converter 8 is connected to the filter circuit 9, designated overall by the reference number 9, which dampens the harmonics of the output current of the D / A converter 8.
  • the D / A converter 8 has a predetermined internal resistance, which forms the termination of the filter circuit at its output 6.
  • a third counter 50 has an input 10 to which the horizontal synchronization signal is present and a reset input 11 to which the vertical synchronization signal is present.
  • the third counter 50 is used to determine the number of horizontal synchronization pulses that have occurred since the last vertical synchronization pulse. In other words, the counter content of the third counter 50 corresponds to the number of the line on the screen of the video playback device 16 described by a currently generated video signal.
  • the third counter 50 is connected via an address bus 20 to a read-only memory circuit 51, which is referred to below as the vertical PROM 51 becomes.
  • the vertical PROM is programmed in such a way that, with continuously increasing input addresses, it generates a data output word that corresponds to a sawtooth curve with several quasi-continuous ramps. In each case one ramp of the output signal of the vertical PROM 51 is used to generate a comparison signal for one of a plurality of measurement signals which are in the corresponding one Channel (here upper channel) of the dual-port video RAM 5 are stored.
