nothing wrong with sampling in midlle of discharge you know the discharge rate is much faster than your machine can react so even an average discharge volatge is ok (like a smaple and hold gated by on-time) > I will try time to measure ionization time instead this is also inline with > what I have also seen somewhere in scientefic papers. the ionization time is less suited to driving the servo it is more suited to a safety strategy for when gap control is lost read more, i think the papers say it is not the primary servo loop input > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users tomp tjtr33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
