Measuring Clocks and Watches

Sensors used for Electronic Timing

  • Acoustic
  • Optical
  • Magnetic
  • Inductive

After the timebase, the next major component of a measurement system is the sensor used to detect the beat of a clock or watch. I use four basic types of sensors: acoustic, optical, magnetic, and inductive. The methods are simple enough, but when you look closely, it’s not easy to be accurate.
