After a review of Jonker, we find that the reference relates
to a digital engine analyzer that displays digitized engine
information on an oscilloscope display (col. 1, lines 7-12). The
only disclosure of Jonker related to frozen data, is with regard
to a “FREEZE function” that freezes a live screen (col. 5, lines
39-45). The “FREEZE function” is further described as including
a memory for storing digitized display samples (col. 25, lines
16-31). However, we find no teachings in Jonker related to
reconfiguration of frozen screen display format, let alone
changing the number of traces and assignment of plural signals to
plural traces.
We next focus our review on Moriyasu to determine the
disclosed manner of reconfiguration of the display format.
Although Moriyasu does not explicitly refer to live or frozen
display formats, we find that sampled and digitized data obtained
over an ultra-wide time range is stored in a memory, which is
recalled and processed for display (col. 1, lines 52-65).
Moriyasu further discloses that the data for the signal being
measured is stored as two values, one to show the value of the
signal and the other to show the time at which the measurement is
taken (col. 8, lines 62-66). The stored data is then used for
plotting time versus measurement values in zoomed (expanded) or
