The duration of the photochemical effect is called persistence. Persistence<br />

can be grouped as either low, medium ol' high persistence. To display<br />

repetitive signals, a low or medium persistence CRT may have been used. To<br />

display noru:ecurxent or single events, a high persistence CRT would have<br />

been used. Many modern digital cathode ray tube type systems are available.<br />

Because analog CRTs are no longer manufactured, those systems are being<br />

replaced with other options digital system provide the additional flexibility for<br />

the selection of various color and contrastconditions (Figure 6.14).<br />

This allows the operator a thoice otcolor options that can be established on<br />

the swnesystem to compensate for use :in different lighting conditions.<br />

Because the data are outpuftotlte screen in a digital format varying<br />

persistence values can be selected by defining the timing factor of a rolling<br />

data buffer or memory. This selection process allows the operators to choose<br />

how long the digital images created stay on the screen for viewing.<br />
