Key quotes
· 2 pulledFor all of you that have used analog oscilloscopes or other equipment with a phosphor display knows how beautiful the image can be from such displays.
The color grading, which naturally occurs due to the persistence in the glow from the phosphor, also acts as a useful measurement on the signal integrity, such as how much noise there is and the shape/modulation of the underlying signal.
