ABSTRACT:
System for sampling and holding an analog signal corresponding to the altitude of an aircraft and providing a control signal for maintaining the aircraft at the altitude where sampling occurs. A binary converter stores a count corresponding to the level of the sampled signal, and a digital-to-analog counter provides an output analog signal corresponding to the count registered by the counter. The altitude signal is compared with the output signal to provide an altitude correction signal in the event that the altitude signal deviates from the level corresponding to the stored count.
