PWM sensors

So I found this great deal on a bulk lot of MTS linear position sensors. Bench testing them revealed some odd results. More research indicates that they produce a PWM output signal. Does anyone know how to make them work with a DL1?

Thanks

Depending on the frequency on the inputs, you may well just be able to connect these directly in to an analogue input on the DL1. If this doesn’t work you could feed them in through a resistor and a capacitor to filter the data and give a smooth output. Failing that you can feed them in to the frequency inputs on the DL1 and set them to the period measurement mode

Thank you. I'll give those things a try.
