This technique is used to measure the level of a simple dc voltage where no waveform is present. This would result, for example, from connecting the scope directly to the output of a dc power supply. The example uses +5 volts dc, which is a common supply voltage used in digital circuits. Though this measurement can be performed on either scope channel, this example uses channel 1 2. Set the channel 1 input coupling switch to the ground position. Adjust the horizontal and vertical position controls to obtain a straight line trace, as in Fig. 21a. This horizontal line becomes the zero volt reference line for the measurement. This example uses a line near the bottom of the screen; your choice may depend on how much resolution is desired, or whether negative voltages may be encountered. Products & Services
Voltage multipliers are AC to DC conversion devices that produce high-potential DC voltage from a lower voltage, AC source.
Magnetic proximity sensors include devices that work on inductive, variable reluctance, magneto resistive or Hall effect principles. Proximity sensors detect the presence or absence of an object using a critical distance.
Analog I/O devices process analog signals (e.g., output of transducers) and output the results in analog format.
Incremental rotary encoders are multi-turn sensors that use optical, mechanical, or magnetic index-counting for angular measurement. They contain no absolute reference, but instead count relative to the turn-on position.
Dataline and DC signal surge suppressors protect equipment from transient overvoltages present on data or DC signal lines.
