1. A method of generating a cyclic loop image, comprising:
receiving an input waveform;
using the input waveform to generate a ramp sweep signal derived from digital data contained in the input waveform;
receiving a gate input indicating what portion of the input waveform is gated;
in response to the gate input, gating the ramp sweep signal and the portion of the input waveform to produce gated X-axis and Y-axis data; and
displaying the gated X-axis and Y-axis data as a cyclic loop image.
