    摘要: A system and method are provided for compensating for thermal drift of a probe device. The method includes monitoring a first temperature of a laser source in a sensor head that receives output electrical signals from a DUT and outputs corresponding optical signals; monitoring a second temperature of a photoreceiver in a probe interface that converts the optical signals to electrical test signals to input to the test instrument; calculating a first value of a first bias voltage using the first temperature; applying the first value of the first bias voltage to the laser source to compensate for thermal drift when the first temperature is within a first predefined temperature range; calculating a second value of a second bias voltage for the photoreceiver using the second temperature; and applying the second value of the second bias voltage to the photoreceiver to compensate for thermal drift when the second temperature is within a second predefined temperature range.

    摘要: A current sensor for detecting a current based on a terminal voltage and a resistance value of a shunt resistor, includes: a resistance value correction circuit having: correction resistors; a signal application unit; a voltage detection unit that detects terminal voltages of the shunt resistor and a part of the correction resistors in a first period, and terminal voltages of all of the correction resistors in a second period; and a correction unit that corrects the resistance value for current detection based on a calculated resistance value of the shunt resistor. Resistance values and resistance accuracies of the correction resistors are higher as the plurality of correction resistors are disposed farther from the shunt resistor.

    摘要: An oscillator-based sensor interface circuit includes an oscillator and a switching means is arranged for switching between at least two signals to be applied to the oscillator via that input. At least one of the signals is an electrical signal representative of an electrical quantity. A counter is arranged to count a number of cycles produced by the oscillator. A control logic is arranged to control the switching means and to derive a control output signal from a first number of counted oscillator cycles. A feedback element is arranged for converting a representation of the control output signal into a feedback signal used directly or indirectly to maintain a given relation between the first number of counted oscillator cycles.

    摘要: An eddy current displacement sensor includes devices or modules for digitizing and interpreting analog signals received from sensor coils. Periodic analog signals, such as sinusoidal or square wave signals, are sent to the coils with a suitable frequency. The output from the coils is then digitized using one or more analog-to-digital converters, at a sampling rate (frequency) that may be greater than that of the frequency of the input signal. The digitized output signals may then be processed to determine displacement of an object relative to the sensor coils, for example using magnitude and/or phase of the digital signals to estimate position. Digitizing the analog output signals directly, rather than only after such signals have been converted to DC signals, allows improvement in processing, as well as enabling flexibility in how the signals are used to estimate position.
