1. A system, comprising:
at least one flight display configured to display an image;
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the flight display and the memory; the processor configured to execute instructions maintained on the memory causing the processor to:
receive a signal from an avionics sensor;
store a portion of the signal in the memory; and
cause the flight display to display the image; the image including a scale, a pointer, and a plurality of data points; the scale including an axis; the pointer positioned on the axis based on the signal; the plurality of data points based on the portion of the signal stored in the memory; wherein the plurality of data points are oriented relative to the axis to indicate a value of the data point on the axis; portion of the signal stored in the memory; wherein the plurality of data points are positioned from newest to oldest relative to the axis;
wherein a fixed number of data points are stored in the memory, wherein a newest data point is configured to replace an oldest data point in the memory;
wherein the data points are stored in a circular buffer of the memory, the circular buffer including a fixed-size array; and
wherein the fixed-size array is selectively adjustable when the processor is installed in a cockpit.
