    摘要: Techniques to provide calibration of a measurement system in conjunction with measurement operations. The techniques may include providing a reference device in a signal processing chain within the measurement system. An excitation signal may be driven through the reference device while it may be connected to the signal processing chain within the measurement system and a calibration response may be captured. During a measurement operation, the reference device connection may be complemented with a sensor connection in the signal processing chain and the excitation signal may be driven through the signal processing chain. A measurement response may be captured from the system. The measurement system may generate a calibrated measurement signal that accounts for phase and/or amplitude errors within the system from the calibration response and the measurement response.

    摘要: A digital filtering system is fed by input signal and produces an output signal from either a relatively low bandwidth filter or a relatively wide bandwidth filter selectively in accordance with the time rate of change in the input signal. The output signal is produced by the relatively low bandwidth filter when the input signal is slowly varying and the output signal is produced by the relatively wide bandwidth filter when the input signal changes rapidly, after which the output is produced from the relatively low bandwidth filter when the input signal reverts to its more slowly varying characteristics.

    摘要: An analog to digital conversion system wherein a first chopper is responsive to a chop signal having a period T for passing an analog signal to an output with non-reversed polarity during a first portion of the period T and with reversed polarity during a second portion of the period T. An analog to digital converter produces a first set of at least one digital word corresponding to the analog signal with non-reversed polarity and an offset voltage and produces a second set of at least one digital word corresponding to the analog signal with reversed polarity and the offset voltage. A second chopper is responsive to the chop signal for passing to an output of the second chopper one of the produced first and second sets with non-reversed polarity, and passing to the output of the second chopper the other one of produced first and second sets with reversed polarity. A filter is fed by the output of the second chopper for producing, on receipt of the produced first set, a first output digital word and, on receipt of the produced second set, a second output digital word, with the offset voltage being removed from each of such output digital words. In a preferred embodiment, a signal conditioning circuit is fed by the output of the first chopper.

    摘要: An electronic interface for operating a dot matrix printer to print a pattern appearing on a television screen employs video-type signals incorporating field and line sync signals, digitized image signals representative of dots of information along each raster line and dot pulses for synchronizing the digitized image signals. Upon receipt of a print request, a line address counter is incremented by each line sync pulse. A second counter, which is incremented each time the line address counter reaches a maximum count, has its count set into a horizontal position counter at the beginning of each line scan and is decremented synchronously with the dot pulses. The sequentially received dot information is loaded serially into a shift register and is transferred byte-wise in parallel into a location in a random access memory identified by the count in the line address counter when the horizontal position counter reaches a zero count. When the line address counter reaches its maximum count, the interface circuitry prints the stored bytes, representing a "slice" of the raster image in an orientation transverse to the direction of the lines comprising the raster image. Successive "slices" are acquired and printed in a similar fashion to collectively create a completed image.

    摘要: A switched-capacitor DAC system includes an integrator circuit including an op amp having an input lead, an output lead and an integrator capacitor connected between the input lead and the output lead. A sampling switch is operable to connect an input capacitor to be charged by an input voltage during at least one of first and second non-overlapping time intervals, wherein the first time interval is subdivided into first and second non-overlapping sub-intervals and the second time interval is subdivided into third and fourth non-overlapping sub-intervals. A transferring switch is operable to connect the input capacitor to transfer charge from the input capacitor to transfer charge from the input capacitor to the integrator capacitor during at least one of the first and third sub-intervals. A discharging switch is operable to connect the input capacitor to a discharge node during at least one of the second and fourth sub-intervals. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sampling switch connects the input capacitor during one of the first and second sub-intervals, the transferring switch connects the input capacitor during one of the first and third sub-intervals, and the discharging switch connects the input capacitor during one of the second and fourth sub-intervals.
