Hi Mitch,

CRO stands for Cathode Ray Oscilloscope. It is another term for Analog
Oscilloscope. It just means that the input voltage is just amplified and
placed on the deflection plates of a cathode ray tube, rather than being
digitized, stored, and then displayed at some later time.(as it would be in
a DSO or Digital Storage Oscilloscope)

P.S. As for whether or not I ought to make it look like a CRO, I'd love to,
but I have several problems with doing than (i.e. input bias current on the
input buffer is several uA, which would cause too large a DC error if
source impedance is >10k) Also, I am mainly doing this a project to learn
about high speed ADCs and RF amplifier/attenuator design, not really to
market it.

Sean
