ENCODING TECHNIQUE FOR ENABLING A DEVICE TO PROCESS DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIGITAL INFORMATION TRANSMITTED ALONG A SINGLE INFORMATION CHANNEL

摘要

A data processing system includes a first device which transmits different types of pulse coded digital information along a single channel to a second device for separation and distribution to a number of different outputs. The different types of digital information transmitted are encoded with different pulse widths. The pulse widths for the different types of information are selected to provide highly reliable data transmission. The second device includes a receive section which has a plurality of detectors. Each of these detectors operate to detect only the pulse coded digital information encoded with predetermined pulse widths and pass them to its output. The system accommodates bidirectional transmission and processing of the encoded digital information by including like transmit and receive sections within each device.
