OPERATING A FIFO MEMORY
First Claim
1. A method of operating a first-in first-out memory arranged to store measurement data samples measured by a plurality of data measurement sensors, in which memory the oldest measurement data sample is arranged to be read first, the method comprising:
- receiving measurement data samples from at least two data measurement sensors of different type; and
saving the received measurement data samples in the memory,wherein each of the measurement data samples saved in the memory is associated with a tag, also saved in the memory, identifying the data measurement sensor which measured the respective measurement data sample.

Abstract
The present invention concerns a method of operating a first-in first-out memory (9) arranged to store measurement data samples measured by a plurality of data measurement sensors (1, 3, 5), which can operate at various sampling rates. The oldest measurement data sample in the memory (9) is arranged to be read first before the newer measurement data samples. The method comprises: receiving measurement data samples from at least two data measurement sensors (1, 3, 5); and saving the received measurement data samples in the memory (9). Each of the measurement data samples saved in the memory is associated with a tag which is also saved in the memory (9) and which identifies the data measurement sensor (1, 3, 5) which measured the respective measurement data sample.
