ABSTRACT:
This invention uses a flexible gauge to digitize an analogue signal from a mechanical gauge. In particular, this invention uses a flexible gauge to digitize an analogue signal from a mechanical pressure gauge. More particularly, this invention uses a flexible gauge to digitize an a analogue signal from a mechanical pressure gauge that uses a Bourdon tube.
