Abstract
A sequence of n sample values occurring during a recording interval is processed by determining which of the sample values is the smallest and which of them is the largest. The smallest sample value is loaded into one of first and second memory portions in dependence upon whether the smallest value occurred before or after the largest sample value, and the largest sample value is loaded into the other of the first and second memory portions. In this fashion, the order of the smallest and largest sample values is preserved.
