Abstract:
1. A method for evaluating test data from a plurality of excitations of a plurality of sensors; the method comprising: (a) storing said test data as a plurality of sensor-excitation pair data entries in an information store; (b) exercising an iteration of a fit relationship in an evaluation unit coupled with said information store employing at least one first sine value to determine a fit value substantially simultaneously for at least a portion of data entries of said plurality of data entries; (c) ascertaining a measure of fit error in said evaluation unit between said test data and said fit value for at least said portion of data entries; (d) employing said measure of fit error in said evaluation unit to estimate at least one next sine value; (e) employing said at least one next sine value in said evaluation unit to perform a fit optimization operation with said test data substantially simultaneously for at least said portion of data entries; and (f) repeating steps (c) through (e) until a desired number of said sine values has been exercised.
