Abstract
A system for processing and selectively transmitting process signals to a computer and/or a display device is disclosed. The system utilizes a binary full adder (38) to add the incoming signal, in inverted form, to the previously transmitted signal to obtain the difference therebetween. A binary comparator (52) compares the difference with a predetermined value, established by thumbwheel switches (46), and if the difference exceeds the predetermined level, causes the actuation of a flip-flop (54) and a bistable latch (32) permitting the incoming signal to be transmitted to a computer and/or a display device.
