Abstract
A formatter for combining timing signals with data from an algorithmic pattern generator (APG). In the disclosed embodiment, the formatter receives address signals from an APG and timing signals from a timing unit. Each timing signal from the timing unit corresponds to an address signal received from the APG. The address and timing signals are communicated to a signal select unit wherein each timing signal selects its corresponding APG address signal. The selected APG address signal then is communicated to a signal combining unit which combines the APG address with its corresponding timing signal and generates leading edge and trailing edge marker pulses having a user-specified pulse width.
