Detailed Description

Examples combining the SineWave picker with a two-dimensional PrismPicker.

When two sine waves are used as the input of the prism picker, they act as a waveform generator for the x and y coordinates of points. When a set of such points is generated (using a ComposeList picker), and plotted, the result simulates the operation of a physical device called an oscilloscope.

The package contains two examples:

• The first shows how, by changing the wiring of pickers, one can create {@linkplain Lissajous Lissajous figures} on the oscilloscope display.
• The second shows how, by feeding the y-picker a time-dependent signal, it is possible to demonstrate the principles of {@linkplain AMRadio amplitude modulation} and {@linkplain FMRadio frequency modulation}.
