Defining bounce Time,
It is the time duration of intermittent opening and closing of the Reed contact during contact closure (or) it is the time duration of intermittent closing and opening of the reed contact when the reed contact opens. But not sure whether both time intervals are equal!
Having this in mind, i tried to analyse how far, the circuit i have, could help me to measure the bounce time, but couldnt arrive at any useful results. So i thought of getting few hints by posting it here, which would help me do with the measurements.

Kai Said:
The schematic is incomplete, in so far that important signals aren't explained. For instance, what is "Sense3+"?
That is the problem I face Kai. I have only that card with those signals coming out of the connector pins (as shown in the circuit). But not having any explanations regarding it for my reference. So I am unable to give you those details.
So with this situation I only intend to know whether I could measure the bounce time of reed switches using that card setup (with or without any additional circuitry).
If i could measure, then need some suggestions on how it could be done since I couldn’t find one.
Any hints would be helpful for me to find a solution.

Kai Said:
Also, with what is the reed relay switch contact of DUT connected, to measure the switch resistance?

I thought of using the 10mA_out1 to pass through the contact for CR measurement purpose. Sense1+ and Sense1- to sense the drop across the contact.


Thanking you,
