Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed for periodic sampling of a signal by taking a number of successive samples of the signal during each sampling interval, determining the maximal and minimal sample during each interval, determining the extent of deviation of each maximal and minimal from the sample selected for the last interval, and selecting as the sample best representative of the present interval the maximal or minimal, depending on which has the greatest deviation. If they have equal deviation, one may be consistently selected, preferably the minimal, but instead the last updated value, minimal or maximal, is used.
