Abstract
A system for interpolatively displaying the values of a one-dimensional array of data sources is disclosed. The output signals are multiplexed and successively made available to the input of a tandem of samples and hold circuits. Stored data from the tandem of sample and hold circuits is applied in parallel format to a computation unit which produces a continuous signal interpolatively representing the values of each spatially adjacent pair of data sources. Control circuitry provides appropriately timed sample and hold signals to the tandem of sample and hold circuits as well as initialization signals to the computation unit. The computation unit is initialized on every sample period in synchronism with the multiplexer and sample and hold tandem. The basic one-dimensional recursive interpolation scheme disclosed may also be utilized in a dual re-iterative manner to display the interpolated status of a two-dimensional data source array such as a two-dimensional array of thermocouples situated in proximity to the face of a continuous casting mold.
