The converter includes a memory for storing two coefficients. The high value bits of a binary number are used as an address to call up the two coefficients. The lower value bits of the binary number are multiplied by the first coefficient called up from the memory. The product is added to the second coefficient obtained from memory. USE/ADVANTAGE - E.g. for use in measuring physical parameters such as temp. and torque e.g. in deg.F, foot-pounds. Thermoelectric effects of intermediate wiring connections are simultaneously compensated for.
