Abstract
A circuit for the continuous and uninterrupted read-in of a large data volume of an electronic measuring device into a memory, having at least two dynamic storage elements (2a, 2b) each of which can accept only one data volume uninterrupted during an active phase (which data volume is limited relative to the total data volume to be read in) and must be prepared again for a new read-in during an inactive phase. These storage elements are so controlled via a control circuit (3) that during the inactive phase of a first storage element (e.g. 2a), the data are read into a second storage element (e.g. 2b) which is prepared for the active phase, and when this second storage element must be prepared again, there is an automatic and uninterrupted changeover to another storage element (e.g. 2a) which is already prepared for the active phase, until the total data volume is read in.
