The flow meter is a turbine with two, 90 degrees out of faze light or induction sensors. In theory it produces square signal but in reality it is more like sine (therefore sine DC
). Frequency ranges between 250Hz and 2500Hz. Sorry, I forgot to add that to my first post.
My f-U converter is 0.1% linear tested (that is excellent) and it is needed for interfacing to TI`s DAQ panel that we use. Only problem is that it does not work with any signal form except square. Problem is that you can set whole DAQ for just frequency or voltage inputs and as we have everything else working with voltage outputs a converter is needed.
I was thinking about Arduino but using one uC for this single operation seems wasteful for me. In my opinion it would be good replacement for IT DAQ as it can connect to matlab but we must use #proffessional equipment
Jack505- thank you ! I will test your circuit on breadboard...
