  • Patent number: 3978470
    Abstract: A multi-channel display apparatus includes a computer having a random access memory means for storing of the continuous monitored data and for driving of a multiple-channel television unit, with each channel identified by a preselected unique color. Vertical scan lines generate line display segments in each channel. The computer stores line segment definition information which is compared with a beam driver control to activate one color driver which is preset to produce a predetermined color presentation for the channel. Alphanumeric data may be displayed in selected channels through a separate character channel having a character generator with an internal sequence system to read-out the selected character and channel location, with an auxiliary decoder selecting the color driver. A computer processor and a display controller are operated through an interlocking control, with the controller monitoring the computer and allowing computer-memory coupling.
