Monitor Question

That's why they have made it ONLY the display device. The actual sample of the event(s) get(s) stored. So one can zoom in on and see as detailed a trace as one needs.

Hello Chuck,

Agree, a digital scope with a CRT isn't able to find a lot of things. But I stand by my opinion that there is hardly a way to make a good, fast analog scope with a LCD. And here I mean a scope that can show the wee thickening of a trace at 5nsec/div because an unwanted modulated carrier intruded on a signal.

The resolution of a modern scope is not a function of the display that the final result is rendered on. That's the whole point of digital storage and signal analysis.

One must look at the stored data and make INFORMATION out of it. The way you examine it on the scope will be the determining factor in that effort, and it doesn't have to happen in real time.

You guys must be talking about the old stuff.

Nice finish.

Both M$windows and Xwindows have adjustable line widths available at the API level and many programs provide user access to to these controls.

I believe that you are misunderstanding the issues. LCD displays (including the dominanant TFT systems) update as frequently as any CRT. CRT displays have an exponential decay line by line of absolute luminance due to scanning. The luminosity decay that cause problems when converting to other media (photographs) is well known and understood, as well the means to combat them.

Know him? I saw you greasing his wheels, too! ;-)

I just recently (last 6 months) ditched a 21" Sony trinitron for 2 19" LCD's. I will never go back, and i think my eyesight agrees. An LCD cannot go out of focus like an LCD does. I cant work on a CRT these days, cuase they all look out of focus to me.

Hello Roy,

That holds true if all the information can be digitized at reasonable cost. However, often fast single shot conversions don't yield more than

I just talked to a guy from Intel who is in charge of this arena. Made me drool. Thing is, I do not have Intel's budget for my lab.

Hello Andy,

Guess it's different between people. I can work 12 hours on a 21" CRT. Same on an LCD but not if there is too much ambient light, especially from fluorescents.

Good CRTs don't go out of focus. The only time I had that happen was with a 15" Multi-Sync. But that was after almost 15 years of non-stop operation. The plastic of the monitor had already turned from white to beige.

Ironic isn't it? The monitor gets a nice suntan, and the user doesn't! ;-)

Did you install TweakUI? With it you can set a parameter to ignore a certain amount of movement while double-clicking, and a parameter to ignore click-and-drag moves if the distance is below a minimum.

Thanks, Tom, I'll look into that.

Ever see a picture of Bill Gates' desk? Three 21" monitors on one PC, arranged like a fitting mirror.

Also remember what Speff once said about multiple monitors: If they are not exactly the same size it's disorientating.

Stick with Matrox for quality and drivers that work.

What else would he want to look at? Bug reports? Lists of competitors' features that his products won't have for another 7 years?

I second everyone switching to new large LCD's .... it's means I have a steady supply of SGI/Sun/Viewsonice Sony flat screen 21" monitors that I like much better :)) At under a $100/ea used, my desk has three of them, so I can keep schematics, pcb layout, and multiple data sheet PDF's open at the same time. Sure they fill the entire back of my desk and hang over the back edge, but on the other hand, I don't need a desk clutered with printouts anymore either. And all for less than the price of a single high res LCD display.
