An electronics package for use with a proximity probe is disclosed that is capable of being calibrated to work with any proximity probe and cable and that is capable of being programmed in the field. The electronic package establishes and measures a plurality of gaps between the proximity probe and a target. An amplifier is operatively coupled to the proximity probe and produces an output which is digitized, linearized and stored. A linear piecewise approximation technique is used to approximate the voltage at the output of the amplifier for gaps that were not measured.
