Abstract
The invention herein provides a supervisory circuit which is adapted to monitor an input signal and produce as an output signal, a parametric signal corresponding to the input signal. The circuit includes an input for receiving the input signal, and a stochastic processor coupled to the input for receiving the input signal and processing it to derive a signal that represents a parametric measure of the input signal. An output connected to said stochastic processor provides the parametric output signal as an output for supervisory purposes.
