#83854 - Display something on CRO
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Nikhil,

Welcome. This time your question is written better. However you said:

I need to draw a line of 1cm every time untill i can draw line at all the points which are etched on the CRO screen to enable count.This can be random and at any place at any given time.

Please elaborate this point.

What I have got from your post is that you want to display a line on the CRT of your oscilloscope. Am I right?

If that is the case then you need 2 different DC voltage sources in order to drive a CRO in X-Y mode. Now the question that how it can be done with 8051, has many possible answers/solutions.

1) Use 8051 to generate PWM, then adequate filtering of the PWM will give you a DC voltage. This might be good only if you need to draw simple lines.
2) Better use 2 DACs (Digital to Analog Converter) and you can display anything on CRO, though difficult to display complex graphics/objects. Don't expect that you can display high quality JPEG images on CRO :-).

Displaying a single (horizontal or vertical) line require just constant DC voltages on both inputs as you have figured out already.

Regarding Intel 8275, this chip is (or may be was) a programmable CRT controller. I couldn't find datasheet to have a look at it. Instead take some time to read this application note from Intel.
AP-223 8051 Based CRT Terminal Controller

May be we can suggest much better solution if you describe in more detail what I have asked in the beginning
