    Impulse Ttl
AI Thread Summary
TTL impulse outputs refer to a digital signal that operates at 5 volts when active and 0 volts when inactive. The term "impulse" indicates that the signal briefly goes high before returning low, rather than remaining high continuously. This type of output is commonly used in encoders to convey information in a binary format. Understanding these characteristics is essential for effectively working with devices that utilize TTL outputs. Overall, TTL impulse outputs are straightforward digital signals that convey information through brief voltage changes.

i am working with an encoder that says its output is impulse(ttl). I'm not quite sure what this means. is it just a digital signal? how does it work? any help you can give me would be great.

TTL level is a digital signal, just 5 volts when on, and 0 volts when off.
 
Impulse means it will go high and then low rather than stay high.
TTL is the digital levels.
So yes it is just a digital output
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

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...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

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...
