Abstract:
An event detector system, comprising:a plurality of event detectors, each of the event detectors having an input and an output, and each event detector being configured to produce an output voltage at its output in response to an input voltage at its input; a microprocessor having a first output and a plurality of inputs, each of the microprocessor inputs being coupled to one of the event detector outputs, and the microprocessor being programmed to sample the microprocessor inputs and produce an output voltage at the microprocessor first output in response to the event detector output voltages; and a device coupled to the microprocessor first output, the device being activatable by the microprocessor first output voltage, the microprocessor being further programmed to produce a first level of the microprocessor first output voltage in response to a first predetermined combination of the event detector output voltages, and to produce a second level of the microprocessor first output voltage in response to a second predetermined combination of the event detector output voltages.
