Torsional Oscillator Auxiliary high level Electronics Physics Experiments

The Auxiliary Electronics for the Torsional Oscillator is designed to extend the capabilities of the Torsional Oscillator Experiment System by enabling advanced feedback control and real-time signal processing. The system accepts the oscillator's analog position signal, processes it through configurable electronic modules, and feeds a controlled drive signal back to the oscillator. This allows students to investigate active feedback, servo control, sustained oscillations, torsional clock operation, and precision timing experiments. Manufactured by Atico Export India.
