6. Introduction to Analog Systems
Temposonics II Analog Systems include a Linear Displacement Transducer (LDT), a magnet, and an Analog
Personality Module (APM), Analog Output Module (AOM), or an Analog Output Card. See Figures 6-1, 6-2 and 6-
3. The APM, AOM and Analog Output Card generate the interrogation pulse, sense the return pulse, and develop
the analog output displacement signal (voltage or current).
The Analog Personality Module (Figure 6-1) is installed in the electronics enclosure of the Temposonics II trans-
ducer. The Analog Output Module and Analog Output Card are both separate interface devices.
