Abstract
A method for adjusting a time delay of a signal with respect to a reference event is achieved by displaying a graphical representation of the delay time on a display terminal, modifying the displayed graphical depiction to indicate a different time delay, and then adjusting the time delay of the signal to match the modified time delay indicated by the displayed graphical depiction. The display terminal is controlled by a display controller and the graphical depiction of the delay time is modified by an operator using cursor control keys of a keyboard to transmit a first indicating signal to the display controller and other keys of the keyboard to transmit a second indicating signal to the display controller. Each time the controller detects a first indicating signal, the graphically displayed delay time is incremented and each time the controller detects a second indicating signal, the graphically displayed delay time is decremented. The controller automatically adjusts the actual test signal delay time after the displayed delay time has been adjusted.
