Abstract

Digital computers have been useful in the field of Engineering Design for many years. This thesis describes a computer system that was built and programmed to use a cathode ray tube for visual output to be of further aid in Engineering Design. The particular design problem for which the programs were written was a kinematic analysis of a four bar mechanism. The system consisted of a Scientific Data Systems Sigma II Computer, a teletype unit, a variable persistence oscilloscope, and an interface connecting the computer and oscilloscope. Details of the programs used and the computer-oscilloscope interface are given in this thesis.
