    Assignee: BASF Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Clifton Zimmermann, Glen Mumford
  • Patent number: 5019704
    Abstract: A control loop comprising a control section, a set value/actual value comparator and a controller is expanded for ultraprecision measurements in such a way that, to detect measurement signals, the control variable connection between the controller output and the control section input is guided via a measured value transducer and, to evaluate and display the measured value, the correcting variable output of the controller is additionally connected to an evaluating circuit.
