Abstract

The waveforms (FIGS. 57-80) of signals produced by electrostatic probes (1, 2, 3, FIG. 1) are established in records (FIGS. 5 and 6) about 80 milliseconds long; if successive records are sensed contiguously (into N, without any break in-between) the first record of a string is provided with a flag indicative thereof (FIG. 8a) and the second and last records in the contiguous string are stored in special buffers (FIGS. 8b and 8c). All of the other records in-between are thrown away. The string of contiguous records are treated specially: the three records have their characteristics combined in identifying acceleration/deceleration (FIG. 80) and peeled off abraidable seals (FIGS. 62 , FIG. 45c); only the first record is utilized to identify the start of an afterburner chop (FIGS. 77 and 54a) and only the last record is utilized to identify the end of a chop (FIGS. 78, 79 and 54a).
