A system is described for digital measurement and automatic recording of linear or angular position. An adding-subtracting scaler is used to accumulate pulses generated by the digitizing element. Several of the major components are commercially available. The performance of the system as used for coordinate measurements on bubble chamber photographs is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
