摘要

A reading station is equipped with a programmer provided with means of reading by telemetry and means of remote transmission, on a telephone line, of the data thus read and / or of internal parameters of the programmer. A remote analysis station comprises means for receiving the data sent over the telephone line and means for displaying and / or analyzing the transmitted data. The programmer comprises means for collecting a voice signal and multiplexer means, receiving the data and / or parameters and the collected voice signal, and delivering as output a multiplexed signal applied to the remote transmission means. The analysis station comprises an audio reproduction circuit and demultiplexer means, receiving the signal from the telephone line and outputting the data and / or parameters and, on the other hand, said voice signal. The data and / or parameters delivered by the multiplexer are applied to the data display and / or analysis means, and the voice signal is applied to the audio reproduction circuit.
