Abstract
Abstract An astable multivibrator applies periodically generated pulses to a frequency divider. The pulses from the frequency divider are decoded by a binary-to-decimal converter, and the outputs of the converter are applied to a plurality of potentiometers. The voltages from the movable contacts of the potentiometers are transmitted to a mixing amplifier which feeds an output amplifier. The output amplifier provides a signal to a deflection coil.
