#114612 - not so fast ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The spec on that relay that KAI pointed out suggested that 200 microseconds was a pretty significant time window, as that's the stabile "break" time. It's only eight samples at 40 KHz, which is what that 25 microseconds implies. I think you have to sample at quite a bit, a couple of orders of magnitude, perhaps, faster rate than that if you want to go without an integrator.

Using the integrator, 25 microseconds might work, but ... if you want precise information, information that you might use over a broad sample base in order to get to where you have sufficient confidence in the numbers to publish the result as a "typical" spec, I think you probably want an integrator to smooth the bounce-interval current and you want to sample it more like 50-100 times, perhaps more.

            Of course its a good idea ;-)            01/01/70 00:00      
               also..            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Rather redrawing, i prefer ...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Schematic is incomplete            01/01/70 00:00      
      Simple way            01/01/70 00:00      
   I would do it like that            01/01/70 00:00      
      detecting end of bounce?            01/01/70 00:00      
         Much simpler            01/01/70 00:00      
            this is all getting complicated            01/01/70 00:00      
               there may be definition problem here            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Thanks Richard            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Question and answer            01/01/70 00:00      
                     You're right, of course            01/01/70 00:00      
                        They tell it here            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Yes, it's pretty complete.            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Form A            01/01/70 00:00      
                     More sophisticated? Maybe not.            01/01/70 00:00      
                        OK brass tacks            01/01/70 00:00      
                           that's the basic idea            01/01/70 00:00

                                    reply            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Really?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          I doubted when i typed            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             and the manual is right! sorry.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                Really?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   correction            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      There could be. But I made the mistake            01/01/70 00:00      
            Quantum flux compensator?            01/01/70 00:00      
               is it still April 1            01/01/70 00:00      
                  You are right but,            01/01/70 00:00      
               he means a flux capacitor ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  And I thought...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Compensator            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Translation            01/01/70 00:00

                  reply : april 1!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     no, it was a natural response            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Ok Erik.            01/01/70 00:00      
                           The "Flux Capacitor" is from a movie            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Yes. to some extent!            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Never wanted to fool you!            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Obviously            01/01/70 00:00      
                           A joke and fooling someone is NOT the sa            01/01/70 00:00      
                              This made me think like that            01/01/70 00:00
