An automatic data readout is provided to extract data stored in a plurality of electrolytic cells, such as 20 cells, which cells form a data pack to store 20 channels of information. The automatic data readout reads out the 20 channels of information stored in the cells, either in a manual mode or automatically in sequence 1 through 20. A printer operates to record the data readout from a first one of the channels before passing on to read out a next channel of information. The readout is accomplished by deplating the electrolytic cells by passing a plurality of pulses each having a fixed charge value through the cell in a direction to deplate the electrolytic cell. When the voltage across the electrolytic cell rises above a particular value, the pulses are discontinued. However, if the voltage across the cell then drops below a particular value within a predetermined time, such as 4 to 6 seconds, then the readout pulses are continued. The number of pulses fed to the electrolytic cell represents the true digital count of the stored integral in the electrolytic cell.
