   No algorithm needed. They just translate a voltage signal from the   
   pressure transducer into a digital value. Or they could use a variance   
   from a reference voltage. Either way, there is no algorithm, just a   
   translation from one type of signal to another.

   Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.
