Patent ID: 7092833

Claim:
A method for linearizing a nonlinear curve with an analog linearization circuit with digitally adjustable parameters which are output by a sequence controller, wherein the curve represents the relationship between input signals and output signals of a sensor, and wherein an output signal ( 100 , 110 , 120 ) is respectively associated to each input signal, and comprising flue step of adjusting the analog linearization circuit in an essentially automated way by means of the sequence controller, wherein at least one reference input value ( 200 , 210 , 220 ) is output by the seauence controller and input to the analog linearization circuit, wherein at least one adjusting device is adjusted by means of the sequence controller, and wherein the sequence controller performs an adjustment of the analog linearization circuit by means of the adjusting devices for each pair of reference input/reference output values, until a predetermined deviation is undershot between the actual output value ( 500 , 510 , 520 ) of the analog linearization circuit in response to the reference input value ( 200 , 210 , 220 ) and the reference output values ( 400 , 410 , 420 ).
