    Measuring inductance with DC amps flowing through

    Thank you everyone for the good replys. As someone surmised in one reply, I have moved on from this problem. Solution was to ignore the DC bias requirement and take a reading of the inductance with a normal LCR bridge, so noting the deviation from the spec requirement in my tech report. At the...

    Microscopes with parallel lines

    Try Edmund Scientific at http://www.edsci.com/ They have a whole section on microscope target optics, including parallel line measurement systems. Prices are reasonable. Kevin VanZuilen "KevinVZ"

    I need test engineering tips, I'm a new oneííí

    Hello Alexandro! I too have been tech supervisor on a repair line, and I was blessed with a master technician who taught me the following line speed tricks: 1) Keep track of symptoms and what fixed them. Jbartos (a great help, by the way) suggested a "knowledge base". I used a paper...

    Slip Ring or other means

    I once designed a dip-time sensor which ran around on a "solder dial" which dipped electronic parts in a solder wave to tin the part leads. I used a gel-cell to power the sensor, and an infra-red LED to transmit the sensor data to a phototransistor, the combination housed in a small...

    speaker resonance

    I used to work for a loudspeaker manufacturer some years ago. The resonance we used to refer to was the mechanical resonance of the speaker cone/coil combination, where the cone provided the energy storing "spring" and the coil/cone combo was the "mass" suspended and...

    Digital Phase Adjuster Circuit

    Since you have the waveform in squarewave form, it should be easy to convert to logic level. Then send this to a settable digital delay to adjust the phase. Ten years ago I programmed a Xilinx Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to variably delay the phase of a 2400 Hz tone 0-180 degrees with...

    24v AC Input to 5v logig output

    Digikey stocks an 8-pin minidip IC from QT Optoelectronics called an "AC Line Monitor" which might do your job. TTL Output. Digikey p/n M1D400QT-ND cost $3.13 unit qty at this posting. I do not know if it will work down to 24VAC or not. There are also many large solid state relays and...

    Measuring inductance with DC amps flowing through

    I have a spec requirement to check the inductance of some potted inductors used in a custom switching power supply. Their value is between 20 and 200 micro-Henrys but the spec calls out DC bias currents up to 6 amps while measuring! Spec calls out f=10KHz 0.1Vrms measurement. Need 0.1uH...
