  Voltmeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The deflection of the beam is either caused by the magnetic field of a coil mounted outside the tube or by the electrostatic defliction caused by the voltage on plates inside the tube.
Digital voltmeters usually employ an electronic circuit that acts as an integrator, linearly ramping output voltage when input voltage is contant (this can be easily realized with an opamp).
The dual-slope integrator method applies a known reference voltage to the integrator for a fixed time to ramp the integrator's output voltage up, then the unknown voltage is applied to ramp it back down, and the time to ramp output voltage down to zero is recorded (realized in an ADC implementation).

 Meter (electronics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In electronics, there are many types of meters used for different functions.
These include electronic components that are part of larger devices, and free-standing test instruments.

 Turbine Meter Electronics by Flow Technology, Inc.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The turbine flow meter was originally developed in the early 1960s as a solution to critical flow measurement applications in the aerospace industry.
All turbine meters, including those with axially-mounted rotors, tangentially mounted "paddle-wheel" rotors, and insertion-type probes, incorporate a freely suspended rotor that is rotated by the flow of fluid (liquid or gas) through the meter body.
In many applications, the meter's frequency output is processed by electronics, ranging from basic amplifiers, indicators and totalizers, to more complex flow computers which compensate for all measurable parameters and provide optimum volumetric or mass flow measurement accuracy.

 Ohmmeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A more accurate type of ohmmeter has an electronic circuit that passes a constant current I through the resistance, and another circuit that measures the voltage V across the resistance.
This is because the meter's reading is the sum of the resistance of the measuring leads, the contact resistances and the resistance being measured.
With this type of meter, any voltage drop due to the resistance of the first pair of leads and their contact resistances is ignored by the meter.

 Electronic Flowmeters
Metering accuracy is highly dependent on the relationship between the measured velocity and the average velocity in the pipe.
One preventive step is to size the meter such that, under normal flow conditions, the flowing velocity will be relatively high: at least 6-12 ft/sec, or as high as practical considering the possibility of erosion and corrosion.
The main advantages of vortex meters are their low sensitivity to variations in process conditions and low wear relative to orifices or turbine meters.

 RS SPL METER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The poor "roller coaster" response of the meter in the treble region (as seen in the instruction manual for the meter) is caused (this is in fact informed speculation, but speculation nonetheless) partly by the physical mounting of the internal mic and partly by the mic module itself.
I just want everyone who is contemplating performing this mod on their meter (the frequency response correction mod, with or without the external mic mod) to be well aware of the behavior afterward.
If you find that your meter is unstable after the high frequency mod (needle moves erratically, pegs or stays somewhere in the midrange even with no sound input), try adding small values of capacitance (2pF or so) across C12 until the meter stabilizes.

 Meters
Meter won't start to count down until the white target area is filled, but if the sample is still not sufficient, the FastTake meter will give a false low reading (20s-30s) or an Er message.
If a meter is fussy about the angle that you have to hold it to get an accurate sample (such as the Dex), that may outweigh all the other advantages.
If your meter reading appears to be way off from the vet's test equipment, despite passing all its Check and Control solution tests, a 3-way check by sending some of the venous blood to an outside lab can help to determine if it might be the veterinarian's lab equipment that is out of calibration.

 Eric Wallin's Internet Homepage
Before I changed anything, I measured the frequency response of the electronics of the stock meter by removing the microphone element and driving the pads where it was connected with a function generator, coupled through a 10k resistor and a 100uF capacitor.
The electronics of the stock digital RS SPL meter rolls off the bass (many poles) somewhere around 28Hz (-3dB), and rolls off the treble (two poles) at 12kHz (-3dB).
For some reason, the designer of this meter decided to use the same cruddy mic element as used in the analog RS SPL meter, and this is responsible for a major treble roll off somewhere between 10 and 15 kHz.

 Use of a pH Meter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
If the meter has not been used for some time, it should be soaked for several days in distilled water prior to use, with the power off of course.
After soaking, remove the pH meter from the water, dry the probe tip with a Kimwipe, and cap the probe until you are ready to use the meter.
Before using the meter to determine the pH of your analyte, it may be necessary to standardize it--that is, to immerse it in a buffer of known pH and adjust the meter to display the correct pH.
