Abstract
An arrangement for detecting data in motor vehicles is disclosed especially in combination with the open or closed loop control of internal combustion engines. The arrangement includes at least one potentiometer as a data detector which permits, in at least one boundary region of the potentiometer band, the boundary values to be made to follow the measured value. Thus, a self-adjusting measuring arrangement is obtained which largely eliminates the need for manual fine adjustment. A flowchart discloses a computer-controlled realization of the invention.
