Re: New CGS module--Slope Detector

2005-12-31 by sasami@hotkey.net.au

It will detect these changes without any problems. And it would only output
a short pulse. That is because it is detecting a very steep and quick slope
(i.e. a vertical edge).

>>"The slope detector is an event-driven gate/trigger generating device. It
monitors a control voltage, and responds according to what that voltage is
doing. If the voltage is rising, the slope detector gives a "gate" output
(approx. 5V) on its "rising" output. Likewise, if the voltage is falling,
the slope detector gives an output on its "falling" output. The duration of
this gate signal depends on the incoming CV and the setting of the
sensitivity pot. When the CV is remaining constant, the "steady" output
activates."
