Title: Walter A. Fischer and Programmable Digitizer Technology

Introduction

Walter A. Fischer is an inventor associated with Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Hewlett-Packard Company. His patent work concerns digitizer circuits that convert analog waveforms displayed on a cathode-ray tube (CRT) into digital signals for storage.

Latest Patents

Fischer is credited with 1 patent, titled “Programmable Delay for Digitizer Circuits.” The invention uses a microprocessor to determine when a CRT’s vertical-amplifier output should be sampled, based on parameters specified by the user. It allows users to adjust sample resolution and position the sampling window over a displayed waveform. Users can also intensify the window on the CRT display before sampling, making it easier to inspect the selected region in relation to the full waveform.

Career Highlights

Fischer’s patent reflects work on making waveform digitization more flexible and user-controlled. By combining programmable sampling with a visible, adjustable sample window, the circuit supports the conversion of selected portions of analog displays into digital data.

Collaborations

Fischer’s listed coworkers include Eddie A. Evel and William B. Risley. The patent is associated with Hewlett-Packard Company.

Conclusion

Walter A. Fischer’s patented digitizer technology brought programmable sampling and visual control to the process of converting CRT waveforms into digital signals.
