means 24 without undue experimentation.
On page 6 of Appellants' specification, Appellants
disclose the setting means 24 as shown in figure 1. In par-

setting signal S that determines which output branches 16A,
16B, 16C, 16D are enabled. On page 10 of Appellants'
specification, Appellants disclose that the setting means 24
may also include an A/D converter 28. Appellants disclose
that the setting means 24 includes a processor which generates
a setting signal S which is adapted to the process parameters
