Electronic engineering

counting-type frequency meter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A direct-reading analog or digital frequency meter that indicates the number of pulses (or cycles) per second applied to it.

acoustic depth finder

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A direct-reading device for determining the depth of a body of water, or for locating underwater objects via sonic or ultrasonic waves transmitted downward and reflected back to the instrument.

digital frequency meter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A direct-reading frequency meter using high-speed electronic switching circuits and a digital readout. Such instruments read frequency from less than 1 Hz to many gigahertz.

duty cyclometer

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A direct-reading instrument for measuring duty cycle.

capacitance meter

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A direct-reading meter for measuring capacitance. In most available types, a stable ac voltage is applied to the meter circuit, to which an unknown capacitor is connected in series; meter deflection ...

dual diode

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A discrete component consisting of two diodes in one package.

discrete thin-film component

Engineering; Electronic engineering

A discrete component produced by the thin-film process (e.g., thin-film capacitor, thin-film potentiometer, etc.).
