Data collecting system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A data collecting system in which each entry of data activates the system to record that entry into a sequential record of occurrences for subsequent processing removed from the site of the occurrences comprising:
- time clock data generating means for generating a time representative first information output signal;
at least one additional data generating means adapted to generate an additional information output signal in response to said entry;
each of said data generating means including circuit means for producing a data waiting signal independent of said information output signals when said information output signal is generated;
removable record recording means;
slave scanner means and master scanning means adapted to sequentially energize said slave scanner means for each of said data generating means, said master scanning means sequentially testing each of said circuit means for the presence of said data waiting signal, and energizing said respective slave scanner means in response thereto, whereby said data entry is applied to said recording means to produce said sequential record.

Abstract
A data collecting system is provided to produce a record of data relating to sequential occurrences for subsequent and/or remote processing. The system includes clock means for generating a time or service representative signal, at least one means adapted to generate a signal in response to an external random input, and scanning means adapted to sequentially scan the generating means and interconnect the generating means and clock with a recording medium if a random input signal is detected.
