D'ARSONVAL METER MOVEMENTThe permanent-magnet moving-coil movement used in most meters [3] [16]. |
DAMPED WAVEA sinusoidal wave in which the amplitude steadily decreases with time. Often associated with energy loss [9]. |
DAMPING(1) The process of smoothing out oscillations. (2) In a meter, this process is used to keep the pointer of the meter from overshooting the correct reading [3]. (3) A mechanical or electrical technique used in synchro receivers to prevent the rotor from oscillating or spinning. Damping is also used in servosystems to minimize overshoot of the load [15] [16]. |
DATA PROCESSINGThe execution of a systematic sequence of operations performed upon data. Synonymous with information processing [13]. |
DATA TRANSMISSIONThe transfer of information from one place to another or from one part of a system to another [15]. |
dBmAn abbreviation used to represent power levels above or below a 1-milliwatt reference [16]. |
DEAD SHORTA short circuit having minimum resistance [1]. |
DECIMALPertaining to the number representation system with a radix of ten [13]. |
DECIMAL DIGITIn decimal notation, one of the characters 0 through 9 [13]. |
DECIMAL NOTATIONA fixed radix notation where the radix is ten [13]. |
