A closed loop control system for maintaining a force transducer assembly in a balanced position is disclosed. The control system has a feedback loop control circuit for providing a force rebalance signal at one of a plurality of predetermined discrete amplitude values during each of a plurality of successive equal duration time intervals. The signal has a constant amplitude during each interval. The control circuit further provides a respective digital representation for each amplitude value of the rebalance signal for each of the successive time intervals. Thereby, a precise determination of the value of the time-force product can be generated with the concomitant determination of the forces acting upon the force responsive transducer. The control system is particularly useful for non-linear transducers, such as square law devices where the time-force product is difficult to determine with continuously variable amplitude values.
