Electrical arrangement for forming digital representation of measured values on the basis of time intervals

Claim 1

AN ARRANGEMENT FOR THE DIGITAL FORMATION OF MEASURED MAGNITUDES BASED ON A TIME INTERVAL, COMPRISING TWO COUNTING SYSTEMS ADAPTED FOR COUNTING ELECTRICAL PULSES GENERATED IN NUMBERS PROPORTIONATE TO SAID MAGNITUDES AND INDICATING THE RESULT OF EACH COUNT, IN SUCH A MANNER THAT ONE OF THE COUNTING SYSTEMS COUNTS THE PULSES DURING A DETERMINED COUNTING TIME WHILE THE OTHER COUNTING SYSTEM INDICATES RESULTS OF A FORMER COUNT DURING THE COUNTING TIME OF THE FORMER SYSTEM, SAID RESULT-INDICATING COUNTING SYSTEM COMPRISING RESULT-INDICATING MEANS WHICH INDICATE CONTINUOUSLY THE MEASURED VALUE OF THE MEASURED MAGNITUDE A MAIN SOURCE OF ELECTRIC PULSES GENERATED DEPENDENT ON THE VALUE OF SAID MAGNITUDE TO BE MEASURED; AND SWITCHING MEANS FOR SWITCHING ONE OF SAID SYSTEMS INTO ELECTRICAL CONTACT WITH SAID PULSE SOURCE AND SIMULTANEOUSLY THE OTHER SYSTEM INTO CONTACT WITH SAID RESULTINDICATING MEANS, AN AUXILIARY SOURCE OF ELECTRIC PULSES BEING EMITTED IN DETERMINED PERIODS, AND MEANS FOR SO CONTROLLING SAID SWITCHING MEANS AS TO EFFECT THE SWITCHING OF SAID COUNTING SYSTEMS AT THE END OF EACH PERIOD OF PULSES FROM SAID AUXILIARY SOURCE.
