Abstract

A meter driving system receives pulse signals from a sensor, counting frequencies or periods of the input signals. The counted results are weight-averaged to determine an output value and a value to be indicated. In a weight-averaging process, a weight is varied in response to the frequencies of the input signal. Thus, the meter can give a precise indication regardless of varying input frequencies.
