A depth measurement system produces independent signals, each presumably corresponding to the same movement of a wireline if produced under ideal wireline measurement conditions. The system utilizes the signals to provide an accurate and repeatable signal under varying wireline measurement conditions and is particularly suitable for driving a recorder for depth recording and merging measurements f...
