Note that this system requires an alternating current/voltage supply, as well
as noise isolation.
It works on the principle of mutual inductance; an AC voltage across the
terminals of the primary coil induces a voltage of the same frequency in each
of the two secondary coils. When centered the secondary voltages are equal,
but a positive displacement of the core leads to one voltage being greater
than that of the secondary coil.
i.e.: The change in voltage is proportional to the change in displacement.

Lecture 7
Ultrasonic Transducers
Pulses of acoustic energy
are transmitted at high
frequency, the reflections
off a target object are
detected and the time of
flight is used to determine
the distance.
The target must not touch the rod such that a sufficient acoustic reflection is
produced, hence the target being magnetic so that it can slide on the rod
without touching it.
Ultrasonic transducers can work over a wide frequency range, from below
8kHz to 200kHz.

Piezoelectric Force Transducer (dynamic instruments)
Definition: Self-generating piezoelectric force transducers are stiff, elastic
structures that convert deflection caused by a force into electrical signals
more convenient for
recording.
Lecture 7-2-11
The quartz sensing elements
have a low thermal response
and a low frequency response.
Piezoelectric force
transducers are modeled as a
classical spring-mass seismic
system.

Capabilities (abbreviated):
Measurement system / probes capabilities:

3 (or more) LED 6 degrees of freedom
Sampling rate:
Rate = 3000 / # of LED (in samples per second)
i.e. for 20 active LEDs the Rate = 150 samples per second
for 50 active LEDs the Rate = 60 samples per second
Field of view for K600:
Minimum distance (D) from camera 1.5 m; Maximum distance (D)
from camera xx m.
The field of view is defined as noted below (H = height of image, W-
width of image, D = the distance from which the max view can be
captured). H and W can be interchanged. Here are the manufacturer
specified field views:
0 H=0.9m, W=0.5m D
