Abstract:
1. A method for marking a signal edge, which has been deleted from at least one decimated binary signal after a decimation by a decimator of the binary signal, said method comprising: establishing successive signal portions of the respective binary signal, in each case with a number of sampled values corresponding to a decimation factor of the decimation; wherein before the decimation of the binary signal the number of edges is counted for each of the signal portions, and if the number of signal edges counted in a respective signal portion is greater than one, these signal edges cannot be unambiguously identified with regard to their signal direction after the decimation; decimating by the decimator the binary signal with the decimation factor; wherein after the decimating, an individual signal edge and its signal edge direction within a signal portion of the binary signal is unambiguously identified if the respectively preceding and/or the respectively following signal portions each contains only one signal edge; otherwise if at least two signal edges per signal portion are present, these at least two signal edges with their correct signal-edge directions cannot be unambiguously determined from the decimated binary signal, and these at least two signal edges are determined as deleted signal edges if the adjacent signal portions infer a signal portion with a single signal edge; detecting by a detector a signal edge deleted through the decimation of the sampled values in each signal portion of the binary signal by the decimation factor; and marking of with a particular color or gray tone, by a visualization device, the deleted signal edges received by the detector at a sampling time of the decimated binary signal.
