Abstract
A multiple output potentiometer network having a low resistance zone to provide the output function characteristic and a high resistance zone with which each of a plurality of output contacts is in contact providing a high degree of electrical isolation between the output contacts of said plurality.
Claims2
A multiple output potentiometer network having a plurality of variable outputs including in combination a nonelectrical conducting substrate, a thin layer of high resistance material disposed upon said substrate, first and second zones of said high resistance material, a thin layer of low resistance material disposed on said first zone, a plurality of output members mounted on said substrate in spaced relation, a wiper member of each output member in contact with said high resistance material and movable thereon through a limited path, first and second termination means, first and second trimmer resistance means between said first termination means and said second termination means respectively, means for applying a voltage potential between said first and second termination means and means for taking an output voltage between one of said termination means and one of said output members.
