THE METHOD OF INDICATING A SIGNAL TRANSIENT CONTAINED IN AN ELECTRICAL INPUT HAVING A RELATIVELY LARGE NOISE COMPONENT, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF REPEATEDLY GENERATING SAID SIGNAL TRANSIENT FOR A GIVEN NUMBER OF TIMES, CONVERTING IN RESPONSE TO EACH GENERATION A PREDETERMINED INTERVAL OF SAID INPUT INTO A TRAIN OF DATA PULSES WHOSE REPETITION RATE VARIES AS THE AMPLITUDE OF SAID INPUT DURING SAID INTERVAL, DIRECTING SAID DATA PULSE TRAIN SUCCESSIVELY INTO A SERIES OF MEMORY CHANNELS TO DIVIDE SAID TRAIN INTO PULSE SECTIONS OF EQUAL DURATION, EACH SECTION ENTERING A RESPECTIVE CHANNEL, THE NUMBER OF PULSES IN EACH SECTION BEING REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AMPLITUDE OF SAID INPUT AT THE TIME POSITION CORRESPONDING THERETO, COUNTING AND ACCUMULATING THE PULSES ENTERED IN EACH MEMORY CHANNEL TO PROVIDE THE DIGITAL SUMS THEREOF, AND READING OUT SAID SUMS IN SAID CHANNELS SEQUENTIALLY TO PROVIDE AN OUTPUT IN WHICH THE SIGNAL TRANSIENT IS CLEARLY DISCERNIBLE WITH RESPECT TO THE NOISE COMPONENT.
