Data processing device

A data processing device for use in a thermonuclear testing device comprises a frequency component judging section for analog signals, a sample time selection section based on the result of the judgement, a storing memory section for selecting digital data memorized in the sampling time. Namely, the frequency components of the analog signals are detected by the frequency component judging section, and one of a plurality of previously set sampling times is selected by the sampling time selection section based on the result of the judgement of the frequency component judging section. Then, digital data obtained by A/D conversion are read and preliminarily memorized in the storing memory section. Subsequently, the digital data memorized in the sampling time selected by the sampling time selection section are selected and transmitted to a superior computer. The amount of data to be memorized can greatly reduced, to reduce the cost. (N.H.)
