conventional in the art as recognized by Bruggemann anyway in the
discussion beginning at column 1, line 17.
There, it was conventional in the art to test such electro-
mechanical/analogue-display instruments per se by the use of a
simulated measured value and determining whether the
corresponding displayed value was obtained. This, by necessity,
required a sweeping action of the type claimed to have been
instituted.
On the other hand, the bulk of the disclosure in Bruggemann
is not concerned with such types of displays but only segmented
types of displays comprised of liquid crystals. A significant
portion of the details of Bruggemann’s disclosure relates to
testing each of the individual segments of the liquid crystal
displays represented by various display elements 1 to 7 in Figure
1 by means of the testing action depicted in Figures 3b through
3d. Another portion of the testing action in Bruggemann is
related to testing certain functional elements or operational
elements of circuitry therein as depicted by the numeric
representation only shown in Figure 3a. See for example the
discussion beginning at the bottom of column 5 and numeric
