A DIGITAL ANGULAR ACCELERATION MONITOR,
Abstract
This report describes the design and construction of a digital acceleration monitor for a constant angular acceleration table. Such a table is desirable for the testing of angular accelerometers such as those used for the MINUTEMAN Control System. This work was performed as a preliminary step in the design of such a constant acceleration table. This monitor processes digital information from a photoelectric tachometer and displays the angular acceleration of the table on a cascade of decade counting units. A theoretical discussion of the operation of the monitor is presented and a detailed schematic of the breadboard model given. The monitor was not checked on a constant acceleration table; however, it did function satisfactorily for constant velocity inputs and definitely proved itself in terms of operating and calibrating simplicity.
