Abstract
A waveform data storing unit stores waveform data only at steps midway among a top zero level step and originally sampled steps at every sampling period from the top zero level step. An output means is included for outputting the waveform data at a moment staggered from another moment, at which the waveform data at the top zero level step and the originally sampled steps are ordinarily read out, by a period of time corresponding to half a step. The occurrence of a difference in phase of the read-out waveform is prevented without the need of a data correction unit. The waveform data storing unit stores midway-step data which are averages of waveform data at adjoining originally sampled steps and difference data representing the difference between the waveform data at the originally sampled steps and the midway-step data. A fine waveform can therefore be obtained while using a smaller quantity of data.
