  • Patent number: 4104670
    Abstract: An automatic replenisher system for photographic processors has an improved, digital electronic control. The control includes sensors and signal processing circuitry which provide a signal having a frequency indicative of a measured parameter (such as film density or film transport speed) which is associated with the operation of the processor. A counter counts in response to the variable frequency signal. The counter is interrogated at predetermined intervals, and an energizing signal is produced. The energizing signal has a time duration which is determined by the count in the counter at the time of interrogation.
