Abstract
In a measurement device, a detector output signal indicative of a condition magnitude, e.g., radiation, pressure, temperature, etc, and a ramp signal are added, and the resulting analog summation signal is converted to a digital signal. The digital signal is sampled, integrated, and averaged over a sampling time corresponding to a predetermined sampling number, such as to achieve a condition measurement signal having reduced analog-digital conversion error.
