Electronic engineering
magnetic shunt
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A device that allows the useful magnetic flux of an instrument's magnet to be controlled. The device consists of a piece of magnetic material near the magnet in an electrical measuring instrument.
deflection
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. In a cathode-ray tube, movement of the electron beam by electric or magnetic fields. 2. Movement of the pointer of a meter or the pen or mirror of a recorder by an applied current or voltage.
data playback
Engineering; Electronic engineering
The reproduction of data signals stored by some method of data recording.
current rating
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. A specified value of operating current. 2. See current-carrying capacity.
movie camera moves
Engineering; Electronic engineering
An oscilloscope that the film is drawn in front of the lens continuously at a constant speed, instead of being advanced frame to frame, which in a movie camera.
duality
Engineering; Electronic engineering
1. The condition of being dual (See dual). This can be an aid in the design of certain circuits requiring complementary parameters, e.g., current- operated circuit analogs of voltage-operated ...
momentary-contact switches
Engineering; Electronic engineering
A switch that maintains contact only when it is held down. The tool is usually a push button switch, toggle switch, although it might slide switch or the switch lever.
