Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of Disclosure This disclosure is concerned with a new technique for automatically measuring impedance (though the process is also applicable to other parameters and characteristics as well) wherein a series of voltages are sequentially presented to a common detector and analog-to-digital con verter, the numerical values of which voltages are of themselves meaningless, but from which with the aid of, microprocessor calculating equipment ratios may be cal-, culated that indicate impedance (or other parameters).
