Setting up a Blip

As an Engineer I am used to setting up blips on oscilloscopes and similar equipment.  Today’s blipfoto is of the smallest oscilloscope that I own, together with its manual showing you how to set up its blip.  The oscilloscope scans a horizontal line from left to right across its screen, with the distance travelled along the line being proportional to elapsed time.  The vertical deflection, or blip, along this trace, is proportional to the applied signal voltage, so that the blip on the trace draws a graph of voltage variation relative to elapsed time.  Of course the voltage maybe derived from all sorts of other sensors, such as pressure, voltage etc., so that an accurate picture of very rapidly occurring events can be obtained.  The manual adjacent to this little scope, provides instructions for setting it up.
 
I thought this picture might be appropriate today as we are effectively trying to set up a continuation of our existing photographic blip, by pledging our support to assist in ensuring its continued existence.  Anyone  reading today’s blips can assist by pledging their support at blipfuture.
