Abstract
As part of an examination of the problems of instrumentation compatible with on-line computers, a design has been produced for a simple quasi-digital sensor system. In this, the information about the sensed variable is carried by the number of pulses in a pulse train transmitted by the sensor upon interrogation. This form of sensor system has a number of attractive features. The characteristics of the system are analysed and possibilities of further development proposed.
