Abstract
Abstract A device for analogous representation of alpha-numerical signs digitalized in columns has a sign generator for column digitalizing and a sample device for removing digital column informations from the sign generator and for supplying informations columnwise to an analogous representation device. The invention is particularly characterized by a control device for steering the sign generator and/or the sample device in such manner that the digital informations of each column are supplied at least twice in direct time sequence to the analogous representation device for analogous representation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A device for analogous repesentation of alpha-numerical signs digitalized in columns, comprising sign generator means for column digitalizing, sample means, analogous representation device, said sample means sampling digital column informations from the sign generator means and supplying informations column-wise to said analogous representation device, and a control device connected with and controlling at least one of said means for supplying digital informations of each column at least twice in direct time sequence to said analogous representation device for analogous representation.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
80 words
A device for analogous repesentation of alpha-numerical signs digitalized in columns, comprising sign generator means for column digitalizing, sample means, analogous representation device, said sample means sampling digital column informations from the sign generator means and supplying informations column-wise to said analogous representation device, and a control device connected with and controlling at least one of said means for supplying digital informations of each column at least twice in direct time sequence to said analogous representation device for analogous representation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the sign generator means comprise means for double digitalizing of each sign column and wherein the control device operates the sample means to provide a single sample of each of the corresponding identical columns in time sequence.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
A device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the sign generator means comprise means for single column digitalizing of a sign and wherein the control device operates the sample means to provide a double sample of the same column in time sequence.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
83 words
A device in accordance with claim 3, wherein said sample means comprise a column scanner, a column point scanner and corresponding scanning frequency producers, and wherein, for a given point scanning frequency of the column point scanner, the column scanning frequency for the column scanner at the column scanner frequency producer is so selected thaat, between the appearance of two column scanner impulses which follow each other, there is a total of two scanning impulse sequences for each point scanning of a column.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
56 words
A device in accordance with claim 4, wherein the sign per column is divided into n sign points and the point scanning frequency of the point scanner at the point scanner frequency producer has the frequency value F 1 , the column scanner frequency producer producing a column scanning frequency with the value F 1 /2(n+1).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
80 words
A device in accordance with claim 5, wherein the column scanning frequency producer comprises a first frequency reducing member connected behind the point scanning frequency producer and a second frequency reducing member connected behind the first frequency reducing member, the first frequency reducing member reducing the point scanning frequency F 1 to the value F 2 =F 1 /n+1, and the second frequency reducing member reducing the frequency of the first frequency reducing member to the value F 2 /2.
