Abstract
A frequency conversion system for converting a pulse period into a frequency value by calculating a reciprocal value of a binary digit value of a pulse period from a remote period counter. The system uses the binary digit as a divisor and successively adds the divisor until a running sum results in (1) greater than a chosen dividend value or (2) the number of additions needed to reach a chosen dividend value is reached. A second embodiment is included which contains a local period counter.
