How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The paper describes the integration of miniature multiplexed sensing elements for wear debris detection and measurements of viscosity and moisture. These elements were combined into an integrated sensor and installed in a laboratory lubricating system. Signal multiplexing techniques were applied to the sensor outputs, allowing for improved signal-to-noise ratio and obtaining responses from all sensing elements in just two measurements. The GaGe digitizer facilitated this multiplexing process, enhancing the sensor’s efficiency and accuracy.
How the GaGe Digitizer was used: The paper describes the development of a multiplexed, multichannel inductive pulse sensor based on resonant frequency division multiplexing. Each sensing coil in the sensor is connected to a specific external capacitance, forming a parallel LC circuit with a unique resonant frequency. The GaGe digitizer facilitates the simultaneous detection of debris by processing signals from all sensing channels, leading to a significant increase in throughput.
