Abstract

A modem receiver used in a QAM or PSK data communication system is provided with various circuits generating error or monitoring signals indicative of the status of the system. These signals and the in-phase and quadrature components of the received signals are fed to an interface circuit which generates display signals suitable for driving a display unit such as an oscilloscope. These display signals define an image composed of the signal constellation of the received signals and various error or monitoring points.
