Schering bridge

 Schering bridge

It is one of the most widely used bridges for the measurement of unknown capacitors, dielectric loss and power factor.
It can be used for low voltages. The Cx is the perfect capacitor to be measured. Rx is series resistance. C2 is a standard air capacitor with having very stable value. R3 and R4 are noninductive resistances while C4 is a variable capacitor.

Concepts and types of Digital voltmeter

Digital Voltmeter (DVM) Definition : Digital Voltmeter is a  voltage-sensitive device . It  measures AC  or  DC voltage  and  displays  the value directly in  numeric form  instead of pointer deflection.  DVM  is an acronym for  Digital Voltmeter . DVM was first invented in  1954  by  Andrew Kay . There exist many factors that affect the measurement accuracy of a digital voltmeter(DVM). These are basically temperature, input impedance, variation in power supply voltage etc. As we know that an  analogue instrument  provides results by  pointer deflection  on a continuous scale. On contrary, a  digital instrument  provides results as  discrete numerals . Thus providing accuracy and versatility together. The input range of DVM may vary from  ±1 V  to  1000 V . Precision DVM offers  input resistance  of  1 GΩ  or high for a voltage range of less th...

DSO & MSO (Block Diagram)

DIGITAL STORAGE OSCILLOSCOPE (DSO) The digital storage oscilloscope eliminates the disadvantages of the analog storage oscilloscope. It replaces the unreliable storage method used in analog storage scopes with digital storage with the help of memory. The memory can store data as long as required without degradation. It also allows the complex processing of the signal by the high-speed digital signal processing circuits.  In this digital storage oscilloscope, the waveform to be stored is digitised and then stored in digital memory. The conventional cathode ray tube is used in this oscilloscope hence the cost is less. The power to be applied to memory is small and can be supplied by small battery. Due to this the stored image can be displayed indefinitely as long as power is supplied to memory. Once the waveform is digitised then it can be further loaded into the computer and can be analysed in detail. Block Diagram As done in all the oscilloscopes, the input signal is applied to the...

MicroComputer Based Data Acquisition System:

  Micro Computer Based Data Acquisition System: Computer Based Data Acquisition System – If a large number of inputs are to be measured, some equipment is needed to measure them and display the results in a meaningful and operationally useful fashion. All this is possible with Data Acquisition System, which utilises a  computer  driven visual display unit (CRT) as an operator aid. A screen display can be obtained within two seconds by pressing a button. Information may be displayed only when called up. The screen display can be designed in several ways, using a combination of graphical and numeric displays, so as to be of maximum utility to the operator. Data Acquisition System aids operate in the following manner. Display information instantly in condensed, understandable and legible manner so that it can be easily assimilated. Display spatial as well as time variation. Display vital  parameters  grouped together logically and concisely, eliminating the need of...
