The difference between resolution and accuracy is pretty intuitive to those (old farts) who have lived through the transition from analog meters and slide rules to digital meters and calculators. It is an important differentiation to be passed on to folks who haven’t thought about it.

I cannot measure the battery voltage (to see if the generator is charging the battery) while the engine is running because the emissions from the ignition is so bad it causes by DMM to malfunction.

Heard an old VW Beetle go by lately? And to think, someone built an OATS near a freeway years ago. What were they thinking? Fortunately, the ignition system in the plane I’m flying to dinner later this afternoon is well suppressed. We still use AM radios in airplanes for communications. Ghery S.

I’m not sure that a 10 kHz repetition rate ever occurred anyway. For an ignition system, 3000 RPM and 4 four-stroke cylinders only gives 600 Hz. With best wishes DESIGN IT IN!

The classic example at the time was the interference from ignition systems in automobiles to AM broadcast receivers, both in the car and nearby. A single click is well filtered by the ear and brain, but as the repetition rate goes up the perceived annoyance and interference goes up. By the time the repetition rate has reached 10 kHz the ear/brain combination is really annoyed and the quasi-peak detector and a peak detector respond about the same. Hope this helps. Ghery S.
