It allowed for the development of graphic elements, mostly curves, through the superimposition of two channels corresponding to the x- and y-axes.<\/p>\n

The output was displayed on a significantly better industrial oscilloscope with a screen diameter of about 15 cm, allowing for finer, veil-like structures.<\/p>\n
