Keysight 34970A - Measuring the RPM of a Motor

This video illustrates how to measure the rotational speed of a brushed DC Motor using Keysight’s DAQ 34970A and a Hall Effect sensor. It goes into details how to properly setup the magnet, connect the sensor to our module, and how to use and change the settings to our DAQ 34970A. This setup is used in many application such as quadrature, control system, and robotics. The rotational speed of a motor can be calculated to get a position, velocity, and acceleration.
