Abstract

Apparatus consisting of combinations of interconnected logic elements for generating preselected sequences of addresses for the listing of a matrix memory as a function of preset constants and variable timing impulses, wherein there are first and second X and Y address generators with controlled selection means for selecting the first or the second of the X and Y address pairs, each of the address generators being settably controllable to generate a preselected sequence of addresses in ascending or descending order, with settable increments within the sequence, settable masking, and settable displacements from a fixed reference origin.
