  • Patent number: 4255623
    Abstract: An incoming pulse train is evaluated for interpulse spacing and pulse repetition rate by first shaping the pulses into a desired configuration in a dial pulse shaper (12). The shaped pulses are applied to a pulse counter and controller (14) to generate numerator and denominator signals of a divide function. The numerator and denominator signals are gated through a data selector (16) to an up counter controller (24). The up counter controller (24) gates a 2 KHz clock to a counter in a divider and display (18) during the denominator signal and during the numerator signal the counter within the divider display (18) is gated to perform the divide functions. The divider and display (18) carries out a division function of the numerator by the denominator with the quotient representing the percent interpulse interval or the pulse repetition rate depending on the mode of operation.
