Was ist die Grosse eines DIN-Zwiebels?

Damn, einer DIN-Zwiebel.

And die Groesse.

@Marcus Müller, @brhans, @pipe, @Bruce Abbott, @laptop2d - The question "Spectrum analyser [on hold]" is clear enough to me, and the answer was not hard to write. What's the problem?

Hello Mr. Anderson, surprised to see me?

I mean you didn't tag me, I bet you didn't expect me to respond

@TomAnderson I'm pretty sure that none of those people frequent chat (and would get a notification form that message)

I wonder if there is a way to get the review cleared? The question is fine, in my not-so-humble opinion.

@ThePhoton die Größe

And of course there is not just a signle size. its complicated. what did you expect?

@TomAnderson you can always vote to reopen

Though, your answer didn't even answer the question, so it might be good as it is...

anyone know anything about unlocking software options in benchtop (agilent) equipment? i've heard rumors in the past that third-party labs might be able to do it if you're willing to forgo first-party support in perpetuity...

@PlasmaHH Ja, kenn ich shon. Habe aber kein Umlauttaste oder Esstsetttaste am Keyboard.

@PlasmaHH Why do German recipes just specify "5 Zwiebeln" without specifying size?

If I used 5 American onions in this recipe, I'd end up with my Rotkohl being half onions.

'merica!

@MickLH Okay, this time of year they're probably Mexican onions.

@PlasmaHH Simple question, simple answer, pointer to correct page in correct reference with the long answer. Answer is already the #2 hit on Google for "ramp generator spectrum analyzer". I don't see the problem.

@ThePhoton Ich verstehe dich! Ich habe deutch selb-studiert. Aber nur ein Einfanger :)

something that confuses me about leakage currents .. if you have 3 components in series, will the leakage take on the value of the component with the lowest leakage current or the highest?

@EwokNightmares The three components will fight to the death to determine the current

(sorry, don't have any idea)

i was trying to think of the physics analogy you described

what kind of leakage currents are we talking about?

one of them has a sneaky kcl path

dc leakage

yeah but i mean into what

like i measure tons of leakage currents on input pins of ICs, but the idea of them being in series makes no sense

like say 10 volts into a reverse biased diode with 10nA leakage and then into a MOSFET drain with 1uA leakage to its source at ground, with the mosfet off

hmm

i would guess the minimum leakage component would limit the leakage into the others

that makes some sense, lemme see what my coworker thinks when he gets off the phone

@TheNoonMoose cool :)

I wonder if that is a question on stack exchange or worth asking on it

i would tend to agree, but the extent to which you can run with that answer...

shrug

er, what i mean is

we took your basic idea, simulated it, added a resistor across the mosfet drain & source, measured that too

and the "leakage" through the fet, which was much smaller than the normal leakage through the diode, was the controlling factor

@TheNoonMoose interesting

makes sense at least, that if you've got devices in series and one of them is capable of limiting the current more than the others, that device is more or less in control

@TomAnderson your text doesn't answer it at all, it just says there is an answer somewhere else

@ThePhoton because we assume that the people reading it can cook and judge for themselves. You have like 50% variation in the Rotkohl size anyways. Also, you don't put onions in there, you use apples

@ThePhoton I have an oscillator circuit and want to improve it for better digital logic applications.

ibb.co/h8xVLa

Here's the output of the circuit:

ibb.co/dqh86F

It goes up to 3.4V and reduces down to 2.5V. As I have been using a 6V power supply, the output only reaches 56% of the input and then scales down to 41% of the input. Considering a logic High at 70% of the input my circuit is way beyond this number. The same problem for a logic Low. It should be at best at 30% of the input.

@PlasmaHH This recipe used both onions and apples. 5 of each, for 1/2 a head of cabbage.

@ThePhoton far too much onions for my taste, but there are so much recipes...

@PlasmaHH Yes I usually read 4 or 5 recipes and figure out what they do in common.

Decided not to make my Sauerbraten from Pferdefleisch though.

hehe

@PlasmaHH Can you actually get that in the grocery there?

@ThePhoton pure meat is rare, but sausages you can find in a Metzgerei quite often

...checking aldi.de...

@ThePhoton Those had better be damn small apples and green onions (the ones that haven't grown a bulb yet, just a stalk less than 1cm diameter.)

not in aldi

Red cabbage is usually kind of sweet.

@JRE I ended up using 1-1/2 yellow onions and some dried apples I had left over.

@JRE Also 2 T sugar and cooked in wine.

Which is good cause otherwise I'd have had to drink the 1/2 bottle wine left over from the sauerbraten marinade.

@ThePhoton I've never seen it for sale, but I knew a young woman sometime back who warned before dinner that her mother liked to make roast from horse.

Pferdewurst is quite common though

Also I guess there's a great debate whether crushed lebkuchen is a necessary part of sauerbraten or not.

Errm. You only get Lebkuchen around Christmas time. The rest of the year there isn't really any. Where are you getting your recipes?

I asked a question!

@dirac16 so?

@PlasmaHH it's above?

@dirac16 so?

@PlasmaHH I want to improve the circuit's performance

@dirac16 you could, like, make it a proper one on the main site

@PlasmaHH ok, but don't you have any idea?

@dirac16 I did not even read it

@PlasmaHH does it look scary to you?!

@dirac16 totally. so many words.

OK, try it tomorrow if it bothers you now? I will try to post the question over there

Hey @Giskard42!

@JRE Googling "Sauerbraten Rezept"

Maybe you have to save stale cookies from Christmas to be able to make it year round?

@dirac16 Buffer the output?

@JRE Some US recipes just call for ginger snaps.

I'd never heard of putting Lebkuchen in Sauerbraten, so I asked my wife. She's heard of it. After nearly 20 years here, I'm still learning things.

@ThePhoton I don't think it will resolve the problem. Consider it's only 6% above being a logic HIGH. Temperature variations and other stuff would affect the circuit?

@JRE Maybe if you make it from horsemeat you need to use the lebkuchen.

@dirac16 Use a buffer that isn't so fussy about what's a high and what's a low.

@dirac16 A legit CMOS buffer will switch pretty close to Vdd/2.

@ThePhoton If my input gets noisy for various reasons then the high side might actually enter the low side region. So I would need to make sure that it wouldn't happen at all. For that I will have to establish a robust High/Low like I said above

@dirac16 So buffer it with a FET inverter.

Or use a PNP follower to adjust the output voltage up 0.6 V.

and then buffer with a 5 V CMOS buffer.

@ThePhoton Well, I was just going to make a change to the circuit. However, what you said should work.
