Abstract:
1. A wireless data transmission system comprising: a process sensor providing an output for process monitoring data, wherein the data includes data relating to a period; a transmitter connected to the output of the sensor and transmitting the data in time gated intervals; a receiver to receive the data from the transmitter; means connected to the receiver for determining if new data is received at a gated time interval; means, connected to the means for determining, for using a period from the new data and updating an internal period register if new data is received; a processor connected to the receiver and having means for calculating process parameters based on the data received, wherein the processor is configured to calculate the difference between the period from the new data and a period from prior data; means for storing a set of the calculated process parameters, wherein the means for storing comprises: the processor further having means for estimating process parameters based on the stored set of calculated process parameters, said estimating means responsive to a signal from the determining means; and means for output of the process parameters.
