  2. Tilt detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_detector

    Sometimes tilt sensors are incorrectly called inclinometers because the sensors simply generate a signal (as opposed to inclinometers that generate a reading and a signal). A basic circuit using a tilt sensor is shown here. For this assembly, the components used are: a tilt sensor, a 470 Ohms resistor, a LED and a 3V power supply.

  3. Inclinometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclinometer

    A tilt sensor can measure the tilting in often two axes of a reference plane in two axes. In contrast, a full motion would use at least three axes and often additional sensors. One way to measure tilt angle with reference to the earth's ground plane, is to use an accelerometer. Typical applications can be found in the industry and in game ...

  4. Tiltmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiltmeter

    This was a simple arrangement of two water pots, connected by a long water-filled tube. Any change in tilt would be registered by a difference in fill-mark of one pot compared to the other. Although extensively used throughout the world for Earth-science research, they have proven to be quite difficult to operate.

  6. Photovoltaic system performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system...

    The SR30 pyranometer is an example of an PV monitoring sensor, which can be used in two orientations (horizontal and in plane of array) for measuring irradiance. Photovoltaic system performance is a function of the climatic conditions, the equipment used and the system configuration. PV performance can be measured as the ratio of actual solar ...

  7. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    A significant drawback of a resistor sensor is the unavoidable electrical connection between the current to be measured and the measurement circuit. An isolation amplifier can provide electrical isolation between measured current and the rest of the measurement circuit. However, these amplifiers are expensive and can also limit the bandwidth ...

    The sensor plane, the lens plane and the plane along the train all intersect to the right of the camera. A scientific camera with a Scheimpflug adaptor mounted between the lens and the camera, showing in stop-motion the potential movements the adaptor provides in the two axes (tilt and swing).

    Then the resistance seen by the test voltage is found using the circuit in the right panel of Figure 1 and is simply V X / I X = R 1. Form the product C 1 R 1. Add these terms. In effect, it is as though each capacitor charges and discharges through the resistance found in the circuit when the other capacitor is an open circuit.
