A B S T R A C T "Data Compression Apparatus and Method for Data Recorder with Waveform Envelope Display" A data compression method and apparatus particularly suitable for use in electrical power line fault data recorders. The system performs both gain compression and frequency compression. For gain compression, a predetermined number of samples are analyzed to determine a gain setting common to each sample in the set of samples. A reduced data string consisting of a gain code and data words having fewer bits than the input words are transmitted as a compressed data string. For frequency compression, a sample set representing the input signal is decimated until there remain only a sufficient number of data samples to satisfy the Nyquist criterion for the highest frequency component of interest. Also included is a circuit for reproducing the waveform envelope. Positive and negative peak detectors provide signals representative of the peaks of the waveforms. These positive and negative peak signals are then compressed with the gain compression circuit, decompressed after transmission or recall, and then displayed as an envelope waveform for allowing trend analysis.
