    Abstract: A measurement system for capturing a transit time, phase, or frequency of energy waves propagating through a propagation medium (702) is disclosed. The measurement system comprises two different closed-loop feedback paths. The first path includes a transducer driver (726), a transducer (704), a propagation structure (702), a transducer (706), and a zero-crossing receiver (740). The series and parallel resonance of the transducer (704) does not overlap the series and parallel resonance of the transducer (706). A second path includes a transducer driver (1126), a transducer (1104), a propagation medium (1102), a reflecting surface (1106), and an edge-detect receiver (1140). Each positive closed-loop path maintains the emission, propagation, and detection of energy waves in the propagation medium (702, 1102). In either path, a propagation tuned oscillator maintains positive closed-loop feedback of the system that sustains detection, emission, and propagation of energy waves or pulses in a medium.

    Abstract: A measurement system measures a parameter of a muscular-skeletal system. The measurement system is placed in proximity to the muscular-skeletal system such that the parameter to be measured is applied to a sensing assemblage (3). The measurement system further comprises a digital counter (20), a digital timer (22), a digital clock 24, and a data register (26). The digital counter (20) is preset to a predetermined number of measurement cycles. The digital timer (22) measures an elapsed time of a measurement sequence comprising the predetermined number of measurement cycles. The digital counter (20) is decremented each measurement cycle until a zero count is reached thereby stopping the measurement sequence. The digital timer (22) measures an elapsed time of the measurement sequence. The parameter value can be related to the elapsed time. The precision of a parameter measurement can be modified by changing the predetermined number of measurement cycles.
