The 555 timer can be configured in a variety of ways. When used in a tachometer circuit it is configured as a monostable vibrator, ie a device that has one stable state on its output terminal. Let's consider that state as "OFF" .
If a trigger pulse is sent to the input it will turn "ON" for a fixed period of time set by the circuit time constant then turn "OFF" again.
Consider a single cylinder four stroke petrol engine firing once every two revolutions and revolving at 1000 rpm. A strong pulse will be generated from its ignition circuit 500 times a minute - or every 120 milliseconds. With some
pulse shaping and amplitude limiting, a pulse can be derived from this to trigger the monostable vibrator from "OFF" to "ON"
Let's assume that the monostable time constant components are chosen to make the fixed width output pulse be 20 Milli seconds and a current measuring meter is connected to the output and adjusted to read one fifth of full scale deflection - ideally marked "1000" on its scale.
Now as the speed of the engine is increased, there will be more and more 20 Milli second pulses at the output and the meter reading will rise linearly in proportion to the engine speed because the meter movement will respond to the average current.
In this particular case, with a 20 millisecond output pulse, when 5000 rpm is reached the trigger pulses are now arriving every 24 Milli seconds and the 555 output will be "ON" for 83% of the time. The meter will have reached full scale deflection.
Above 5000 rpm this example would soon become unstable and inaccurate.
Pulses from other types of rotating machinery can be derived optically or magnetically to trigger a tachometer like this.

What are the steps in calculating the quartile of group data?
Re-arrange the data in increasing order.If there are n data points, calculate (n+1)/4.Find the data point in position (n+1)/4, using interpolation if required. This is the LOWER QUARTILE.Find the data point in position 3*(n+1)/4, using interpolation if required. This is the UPPER QUARTILE.In n is large (>30, say), don't bother to add 1: just work with the observations in the n/4th and 3n/4th positions.
How can i plot graph in gnuplot-fortran progarm?
To plot a graph in a Gnuplot-Fortran program, you typically write your data to a file in a format that Gnuplot can read, such as plain text or CSV. Then, you can call Gnuplot from your Fortran code using system commands to execute a Gnuplot script or command that specifies how to display the data. For example, you might use SYSTEM('gnuplot -p -e "plot \'data.txt\' using 1:2 with lines"') to plot the data from the file data.txt. Ensure Gnuplot is installed and accessible in your system's PATH for this to work.

How does a digital tachometer work using 555 timer and its circuit lay out?
A digital tachometer using a 555 timer operates by measuring the frequency of pulses generated by a rotating object, such as a motor shaft. The 555 timer is configured in astable mode to produce a square wave output, which corresponds to the input pulses from a sensor detecting the rotation. The frequency of this output is then converted into a digital readout, usually displayed on an LCD or LED display. The circuit layout typically includes the 555 timer, a frequency divider or counter, and the display unit, with appropriate resistors and capacitors to set the timing parameters.
How does a digital tachometer work using 555 timer op to IC7490-7492-7492 another 555 timer to three IC74160?
A digital tachometer can be constructed using a 555 timer configured in astable mode to generate a pulse train proportional to the input frequency from a rotating shaft. This pulse train is fed into a counter IC (like the 7490 or 7492), which counts the number of pulses over a specific time interval. The output from the counter can then be connected to a second 555 timer, configured in monostable mode, to produce a stable output pulse that can reset the count at regular intervals, allowing the connected IC74160 counters to display the speed in a human-readable format. By properly calibrating the system, the displayed count can be translated into revolutions per minute (RPM).
How does a kitchen timer work?
A kitchen timer typically operates using a simple electronic circuit or mechanical mechanism to count down from a set time. When the timer is started, it tracks the elapsed time and emits an audible signal or alarm when the countdown reaches zero. Digital timers often use a microcontroller to manage the timing process, while mechanical timers rely on springs and gears to measure time. Users set the desired time using buttons or a dial, and the timer resets once the alarm is acknowledged.
How do weigher work?
A small section of the conveyor belt is weighed using Load Cells and the belt speed is measured using a tachometer. The outputs from the Load Cells and Tachometer are fed into an electronic integrater box which calculates and displays the rate, which is usually in tons per hour.

How does a digital stopwatch work ?
A digital stopwatch is a timer usually used to record the time it takes to cook something or for athletes who need to have their running time recorded. There is a start/stop button and also a lap button to mark a lap has been completed.
If you had a speedometer with a tachometer and you replaced it with a speedometer without a tachometer will it work?
it sure would work.. behind the dashboard are plugs for each function. one for tachometer, one for speedometer, fuel, water temp. ect.. if your new dash doesn't have a tachometer it will not interfere with the speedomet aspect of it. but you will not have a tach obviously. that sucks kid
Your tachometer on your 1996 ford explorer does not work why?
One possibility is that the tachometer connections to the circuit board of the cluster have become corroded. It is also possible that the tachometer has just become worn out and needs to be replaced.
How does a clockwork egg timer work?
A clockwork egg timer works by using a spring mechanism that slowly unwinds over a set amount of time. When the timer is set, the spring tightens, causing the timer to count down until the spring fully unwinds and a bell or chime alerts that the time is up.
