Analog Signal Meters for Rotational Velocity & Angle Measurement

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding analog signal meters capable of displaying rotational velocity and angle measurements in a format similar to an oscilloscope, with time on the x-axis. Participants clarify the need for specific applications to provide better recommendations. Multifunction meters with oscilloscope capabilities are suggested, although they can be expensive, exceeding $1,000. A more affordable option mentioned is a Radio Shack Digital Multimeter with RS232 output, which can connect to a computer for a basic oscilloscope-like display. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for clarity in application requirements to identify suitable measurement tools.

Is there any kind of signal meter that can take an analog output of rotational velocity, angle etc. and show it in its full form. If there is meters like this could you recommend a few? Thanks

Do you mean like a tachometer shows RPM? Or just an angle sensor? Do you have a specific application in mind that will help us help you out?
 
Be more specific please. Not sure what you are attempting to accomplish.
 
basically i want a meter that will show a signal similar to the way an oscilloscope would, with time on the x-axis and the output on the other. I don't think it really needs to show the actual angle as the output on an angle sensor would be voltage and that would correspond to an angle, i think. i am building a test machine for a certain application and i need to know if signal meters would be able to sufficiently show the outputs of the tests.
 
I for one, still don't know what you want.

They do sell multifunction meters with an oscilloscope function, if that helps.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
