Abstract
Abstract The present invention concerns an electronic device supplying a plane graphical representation with perspective effect of three voltages. An electronic device comprising three electrical signal input channels denoted by X, Y and Z, a signal distributor receiving electrical signals denoted by x, y and z supplied respectively by the three channels X, Y and Z and supplying electrically signals a and b to two channels respectively denoted by A and B, the function of the signal distributor to amplify and combine the electrical signals x, y and z supplied to it for supplying to the channel A a signal a k.x + m.z and for supplying to the channel b a signal b l.y + n.z, the amplification factors k, 1, m and n being independent of each other and negative or positive. Generally, the invention is applied to the representation of any quantities which can be translated into electrical signals, the variations of some of which as are functions of the other it is useful to know.
