Abstract

Equidistant timing pulses are counted during the time between the arrival of a first pulse edge of a first signal sequence and the arrival of a following second pulse edge of another signal sequence and are averaged to a mean value with equidistant timing pulses of an immediately preceding count between two pulse edges of the two signal sequences. The continuously formed mean values are accumulated with mean values of preceding cycles and in each case the least significant bit is further processed.
