D'ARSONVAL METER MOVEMENT | ||
DAMPED WAVEA sinusoidal wave in which the amplitude steadily decreases with time. Often associated with energy loss [9]. | ||
DAMPING(1) The process of smoothing out oscillations. (2) In a meter, this process is used to keep the pointer of the meter from overshooting the correct reading [3]. (3) A mechanical or electrical technique used in synchro receivers to prevent the rotor from oscillating or spinning. Damping is also used in servosystems to minimize overshoot of the load [15] [16]. | ||
