All engineers know how to use their digital oscilloscope to automatically measure basic parameters such as peak-to-peak voltage, rise time, or frequency on waveforms with a few button presses. Some ...

Encoder Products Company (EPC), a leading designer and worldwide manufacturer of motion sensing devices, has introduced the all new Model 25SP – a programmable encoder in the industry-standard Size 25 ...

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...

What if a variable-frequency drive (VFD) on a critical system has a fault indication, the “error” LED on a DC power supply has turned on, or a conveyor belt has started behaving erratically — most ...

This simple design produces a sinewave that ranges from 2Hz to 20Khz using a CypressMicro PSoC chip. More information on these versatile devices can be found on their web page at: If we set f to 1Khz ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...
