Abstract: An iterative and continuous normalizer for ensuring that the ejector rate of the slave channels in a fungible product sorter are operating at the same rate as a channel selected as the master channel. A distributed trip level value applied to a master channel comparator results in a rate of ejection of non-standard products that are counted to a predetermined count, at which time a master channel counter output is produced. In similar fashion, a slave channel output is produced; however, the comparator in the slave channel operates to an adjusted trip level value, which is the distributed trip level value adjusted by a multiplying factor. This multiplying factor is produced by a multiplier controlled by an up/down counter, in turn controlled up or down by whether the slave channel counter output or master channel counter output arrives first.
