Apparatus for detecting and measuring corona discharges. A sensing circuit is connected to the apparatus, material or sample which is being tested. The output of the sensing circuit is connected to a detector which converts the corona produced pulse signal from the sensing circuit into a voltage which can be observed. The response of the detector circuit is such that the output voltage thereof is approximately equal to the logarithm of the input voltage produced by the corona discharge. The amplitude of the pulse may be observed by an oscilloscope, a chart recorder, or a meter.

A core magnet type instrument which renders a linear response characteristic comprises a magnet core, a yoke surrounding and spaced apart from the magnet core to form an air gap therebetween, and a moving coil movable in the air gap and having a pointer. The magnet core is shaped into an ellipse to improve a response characteristic of the instrument.

An analog/digital meter comprising a transparent liquid crystal numeral indicator and an analog indicator with a pivotal needle mounted behind the numeral indicator. A mode selector switch provides for selectively operating the numeral and analog indicators for selectively presenting corresponding digital and analog readings in accordance with the voltage of an input electrical signal and the setting of a range selector switch. A wire magnet is mounted on the pivotal needle of the analog indicator, and a magnetic pickup head is pivotally mounted to be set at any point along the arc of travel of the wire magnet to generate a predetermining signal when the needle moves into alignment with the pickup head.

A nonlinear rate-measuring instrument. A multivibrator controls the generation of fixed-amplitude current pulses at a rate equal to that of an input signal whose rate is to be measured. The pulses are averaged and the output voltage is a function of the input rate. This generally linear type of operation is made nonlinear by using the output voltage to control the period of the multivibrator, i.e., the width of each generated current pulse. High-scale or low-scale compression can be achieved depending on whether the output signal is used to decrease or increase the multivibrator period.
