1. A method of recording successive values of high sample frequency parameters in a nonvolatile memory having a plurality of addressable signal storage locations for storing digital data recorded therein over a maximum number of recording cycles, comprising the steps of:
- identifying a data signal block for each high sample frequency parameter as including a plurality of addressable storage locations at least equal to the ratio of the predicted number of recordings of each high sample frequency parameter in a selected lifetime interval, divided by the maximum number of recording cycles specified for each location; and
recording successive values of sample data in alternate ones of the data block signal locations so as to limit the number of recordings in each location to a number which is not greater than the maximum number of recording cycles specified.

Abstract
Recurring data sample values of a common parameter are stored in nonvolatile memory at different addresses so as to limit the maximum number of entries at any one location to less than that which results in loss of storage ability.
