Abstract
A system for linearizing, processing and displaying data received from a non-linear transducer. The system includes a keyboard for entering coefficients which characterize the transducer to adjust the system so that it matches the physical parameters of the transducer. The linearized data may then be processed to generate selected functions of one or more transducers before being displayed on a digital display. The system processes data in real time so that the displayed data is frequently updated. Self-monitoring circuits detect processing or operating errors in the system and generate an appropriate error indication. The system further includes means for preventing the loss of data from volatile memories in the system, as well as means for initializing the central processing unit to the first program instruction when power is removed from the system.
