`ABSTRACT
`(
`)
`A dlgltal flowmeter Includes a vlbratable pondult, a drlver
`connected ‘to the conduit and operable to impart motion to
`the conduit, and a sensor connected to the conduit and
`
`control and
`operable to sense the motion of the conduit.
`measurement system is connected to the driver and the
`sensor. The control and measurement system includes cir-
