UNIVERSAL INTERFACE METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUBSURFACE EARTH FORMATION TESTING ABSTRACT A universal interface and method of interfacing between a subsurface controller and a logging instrument disposed within a well logging sonde. A given interface is selectively addressable by its respective address strapping, accessing the interface exclusively to the data input/output bus between the controller and the interface. Once addressed, the interface delivers commands from the controller to its respective logging tool or receives such commands for internal use. In one embodiment, the interface includes an internal counter for counting pulses from the tool to which it is inter- connected and delivering the cumulative count on the data bus. The embodiment further includes optional means for selectively passing digital data such as status words and the like derived from the tool directly through the interface to the controller in response to one of said commands. Means are also provided for parallel connection of a plurality of such interfaces on the same command clock and data lines to the controller. The command and data lines also carry DC supply voltages for powering the interfaces, and means are provided for carrying both digital and analog data on the same data line.
