Abstract
This disclosure is concerned with a novel digital multi-point recorder that is microprocessor-controlled and enables impact printing from in back of the recorder paper to provide a front visible flat print-out of pages of on-line running summary data suited for operator viewing in industrial and similar locations, and providing a record for direct use in reports and logs.
Claims5
For use with printing apparatus and the like for recording digital data generated from analog input voltages supplied to an input of the printing apparatus from sensing means, zero level correction apparatus for correcting for zero-offset of the digital data generated from such analog input voltages comprising means for periodically connecting the input to one of known zero voltage, means for storing a multiplicity of the resulting digital values, means for averaging the values thus stored to determine an offset value, and means for digitally subtracting the same from the digital data generated from said analog input voltages from the sensing means when connected to said input.
