  • Determination of stepper motor position via digital data acquisition
    Patent number: 9099951
    Abstract: A method for evaluating a gauge controller is disclosed. The method includes counting a number of high pulses for a plurality of signal types until either each of the control signals present low signals. After the number of high signals are counted, an angular offset of a gauged needle is calculated.

  • DETERMINATION OF VALIDITY OF BI-LEVEL DIGITAL SIGNAL VIA DIGITAL DATA ACQUISITION
    Publication number: 20130226500
    Abstract: A system for testing the output of a digital gauge controller is disclosed. The system is configured to receive a multi-component digital signal and test if a plurality of thresholds are reached for individual components of the digital signal. If a first expected level is met, the system then determines if a second component of the multi-component signal meets a second expected level.
