DATA RECEIVER
First Claim
1. A data receiver for polling, receiving and processing data from a plurality of measuring transducers through a communication system comprising, an input having means for receiving a plurality of different signaling modes, temporary storage memory means connected to the input for receiving the incoming data, means electrically connected to the temporary storage means for checking the parity of the incoming signal, a comparator and comparatory memory receiving the output from the temporary storage for correcting ambiguities in the position of the measuring transducer, an output memory means receiving the corrected output from the comparator and the comparator memory, a data programmer including identification of said transducers, said programmer connected to the communication system for controlling polling of the transducers, and a data output receiving device connected to the output memory and to the programmer for receiving the output data from the output Memory along with corresponding identification from the programmer.

Abstract
A data receiver for polling, receiving and processing data from a plurality of measuring transducers through a communication system. The receiver being capable of receiving data in a plurality of different signaling modes, processing the received data, and storing the processed data. Means for synchronizing the various signal modes and parity checking the accuracy and validity of the received data. Processing circuitry for handling both serially oriented data and parallel data. An electrically interlocked data programmer and data receiving device, the first of which controls the polling of the transducers and properly identifies the data received in the receiving device.
