Dynamic range rate generator tester

Claim 1

A CIRCUIT COMBINATION FOR USE IN RATE GENERATOR TESTER CIRCUIT COMPRISING: COUNTING MEANS FOR COUNTING THE COINCIDENCE OF RATE PULSES OF A RATE PULSE SOURCE AND THE PULSES OF A PERIODIC PULSE SOURCE TO PRODUCE COINCIDENCE PULSES WHICH ARE COUNTED TO THE LIMIT OF SAID COUNTING MEANS, EACH LIMITED COUNT OF SAID COUNTING MEANS PRODUCING A PULSE ON AN OUTPUT THEREOF, A SERIES OF COUNTING MEANS OUTPUT PULSES CONSTITUTING A CYCLE OF COINCDENCE PULSES PRODUCED BY THE RATE PULSES BEING IN TIME COINCIDENCE WITH EACH PERIODIC PULSE; COUNTER RESETTING MEANS COUPLED TO SAID COUNTING MEANS FOR RESETTING SAID COUNTING MEANS WHENEVER A RATE PULSE OCCURS IN THE ABSENCE OF A COINCIDENCE PULSE; A LOCK-OUT CIRCUIT MEANS COUPLED TO THE OUTPUT OF SAID COUNTING MEANS FOR PASSING THE FIRST OUTPUT PULSE OF SAID COUNTING MEANS CORRESPONDING TO EACH CYCLE OF COINCIDENCE PULSES AND FOR LOCKING OUT THE REMAINDER OF OUTPUT PULSES FOR THE SAME CYCLE OF COINCIDENCE PULSES; AND OUTPUT MEANS COUPLED TO THE OUTPUT OF SAID LOCKOUT CIRCUIT MEANS FOR PRODUCING TWO ALTERNATE OUTPUT SIGNALS FOR CONSECUTIVE OUTPUT PULSES FROM SAID LOCKOUT CIRCUIT WHEREBY THE ALTERNATE OUTPUT PULSES PROVIDE A MEANS FOR TESTING THE RATE PULSES FROM ONE CYCLE OF COINCIDENCE PULSES TO THE NEXT CYCLE OF COINCIDENCE PULSES BY TIME COUNTER MEANS.
