Abstract: A method and circuit is provided for correcting an output signal pulse train received from a digital transducer representing a physical magnitude. In a graph the relationship of pulse frequency versus said magnitude will be illustrated by a straight line which will not, due to various influences, intersect the origin of the graph but will pass on either side thereof. By superimposing (adding or subtracting) correction pulses on the transducer pulses, said line is displaced and caused to intersect the origin, said relationship thus being changed to a directly proportional one. Conditions for proper superimposition are defined and an electronic circuit for fulfilling the conditions in a simple and reliable way is disclosed.

Abstract: A method and circuit is provided for correcting an output signal pulse train received from a digital transducer representing a physical magnitude. The pulse frequency varies proportionally, although not directly proportionally, with said magnitude so that in a graph the relationship will be illustrated by a straight line which will not intersect the origin of the graph but pass on either side thereof. By superimposing (adding or subtracting) correction pulses on the transducer pulses, said line is displaced and caused to intersect the origin. In superimposition, primarily two conditions have to be fulfilled: no correction pulses are sent for superimposition unless a transducer pulse has occurred first, and the correction pulses and transducer pulses are maintained separated in time so as to be clearly distinguishable.
