integrating capacitor to charge, it will at some point equal the ramp voltage. The ramp voltage is
measured and displayed on the digital panel meter.

c) A ramp generator is used to enable a counter through a comparator. When the ramp voltage equals
the input voltage the counter is latched and then reset. The counter reading is proportional to the input
voltage since the ramp is changing at a constant V/second rate.

changing frequency when the input voltage stabilizes. The frequency of the VCO, which is proportional
to the analog input voltage, is measured and is displayed on the digital display as a voltage reading.
