ABSTRACT:
An electronic clinical thermometer comprises oscillating circuitry for producing two oscillating output signals having respective frequency-temperature coefficients which are widely different from each other. A frequency dividing circuit frequency divides one of the two output signals to produce a gate timing signal which controls the gating of the other oscillating output signal to an up/down counter. A switch coacts with the frequency dividing circuit to enable selective changing of the frequency dividing ratio, and another switch coacts with the up/down counter to enable variable setting of the reference count value from which the counter begins to up-count the oscillating output signal to produce an output counter number indicative of the measured temperature. A display device is connected through a decoder driver circuit and a latch circuit to the up/down counter and displays indicia representative of the measured temperature.
