Abstract: A vehicle data acquisition and analysis system which acquires digital and analog input signals and analyzes information relating to vehicle component operation characteristics. A digital acquisition card is connected to at least one vehicle component to acquire a digital input signal data, and an analog acquisition card is connected to at least one vehicle component to acquire an analog input signal data. A connector (e.g., a bus) that provides a connection between the digital and analog cards synchronizes the digital and analog data acquisition when the acquisition of one card triggers the acquisition of the other card. The synchronized data is further processed upon the user's request to display the related vehicle characteristics.

Abstract: A microprocessor numerical control system having a prom module which contains the operating program of the system and a processor module which contains a microprocessor generating multiplexed data and address information on an internal bus. The processor module further includes bus control logic and address and data transceivers which interface the internal bus with the system's address data and control buses. The processor module further includes a variety of timing and interrupt control circuits which permits selective communication with other modules in the system. The system further includes a peripherial interface module having thereon logic to communicate with a CRT, keyboard, audible and visual indicators and an A to D converter which may be used to input feedrate override information into the processor memory.
