Description: |
Abstract:
The electronic measuring unit is a logic controlled system which is programmed by a clock control unit. A unit for producing a digital output indicative of a function to be measured is connected to feed a read up and down counter and indicator unit. This counter and indicator unit has the capability to provide an indication of the difference between a previous measurement and one or more subsequent measurements, the value of a single measurement, the difference between a measurement and a preset value, or the value of only a portion of a total value applied to a measuring sensor for the measuring unit. Additionally, the electronic measuring unit is adapted to automatically round off value indications and to zero itself when drift within predetermined limits occurs. |
