Monitoring apparatus is disclosed for monitoring the operating condition of transmission facilities of communications transmission technology, whereby signal collectors (stations) of a signal collecting device collect trouble reports acquired in monitoring the transmission. The monitoring apparatus should collect trouble reports in as economical a manner as possible and should keep further criteria for the quality of the monitored transmission devices ready for interrogation, as needed. This is achieved by a monitoring apparatus having an evalution and memory device which periodically registers measured values. The measuring device can be advantageously employed for monitoring line terminal equipment in PCM transmission facilities.

Monitoring apparatus for monitoring the operating condition of

A controllable LC oscillator has a constant inductance and a constant capacitance. In an oscillator circuit comprising a parallel resonant circuit, voltage limiting components are connected in parallel with the resonant circuit. By way of a controllable impressed current source, the starting point of voltage limitation is controlled and, hence, an alteration of the oscillator frequency is effected. In addition, a dual of the oscillator circuit is provided comprising a series resonant circuit.
