    Impulse Ttl
Click For 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 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
