  • Electronic scanning pressure measuring system and transducer package
    Patent number: 4442716
    Abstract: This electronic scanning pressure system includes a plurality of pressure transducers (60). A means (22) obtains an electrical signal indicative of a pressure measurement from each of the plurality of pressure transducers (60). A multiplexing means (12) is connected for selectively supplying inputs from the plurality of pressure transducers (60) to the signal obtaining means (22). A data bus (10) connects the plurality of pressure transducers (60) to the multiplexing means (12). A latch circuit (16) is connected to supply control inputs to the multiplexing means (12). An address bus (14) is connected to supply an address signal of a selected one of the plurality of pressure transducers (60) to the latch circuit (16). In operation, each of the pressure transducers (60) is successively scanned by the multiplexing means (12) in response to address signals supplied on the address bus (14) to the latch circuit (16).
