  • Abstract
    A data compression counter which extracts the square root of a number of counts per unit time is presented as an alternative data compression scheme. The maximum error due to compression is equal to the one sigma statistical error. This system should have applications where data bandwidth is low and counting rate dynamic range is high; such as, Gamma Ray Bursts, Solar Flares or, in Exploratory Probes, where the counting rates are unknown.
