The amplified sensor signals are
converted to digital data with a
microprocessor-controlled
integrating A/D converter. Offset
and gain errors in the analog
circuitry are continuously monitored
and corrected using microprocessor
techniques. The D5000 converts
the digital signal data into
engineering units using look-up

in ASCII format in a memory buffer.
The modules continuously convert
