<p>A digital "signature plug", for applying digital signals representative of shaft characteristics to a digital shaft torque measuring system, comprises a printed circuit 134 mounted on an insulating support 130. The support has an input pin 132 connected to a common printed circuit track, which is connected in turn to sixteen output pins 133 via respective individual printed circuit tracks. The support is shaped 140 beneath each of the sixteen individual tracks to facilitate severing of the track with a punch tool, so that any desired combination of the output pins can be disconnected from the input pin. Consequently, if a logic level 1 signal, for example, is applied to the input pin, any desired pair of eight-bit digital signals can be produced at the output pins. <IMAGE></p> |
