 		 #184481 - get rid of that summing amp
Responding to: ???'s previous message
This brought an idea to try and experiment designing such a summing amp, but modular in nature. I have already explained the benefits of the modular approach, irrespective of which strategy in development is used. I was thinking if this can be done, then provided the results are good, i could replace the summing modules on the other running plant with these modular ones for better performance.
it is, these days, difficult to find an A/D with less than 4 channels, sum in the processor
