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.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'
Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
