  • Multiple parameter monitoring and readout system with sampling of parameters of higher priority than the highest parameter which is out of tolerance
    Patent number: 3988730
    Abstract: Apparatus for monitoring and indicating parameter conditions within a system. Signals are generated by sensors which monitor parameter state. The signals are sensed via a multiplexing scheme, each signal being compared to an individually programmed reference. Should a parameter signal exceed the reference, a corresponding indicator is activated. Each parameter is prioritized such that a parameter signal which exceeds its reference will cause the multiplex network to sequentially sense only that parameter and all other parameters of a higher priority. Further refinements allow the readout of the value of a parameter signal if the parameter exceeds its reference or if such readout is manually selected.
