CPS to Hz Conversion

[Howard Cunningham]

Phil..

I always seem to have problems with that chart...  It seems to work fine up to 100 Hz, but I never seem to get the correct answer when trying to convert megacycles to megahertz.....

Joe's formula appears to work in all of the examples that I have tested... (assuming one realizes that the "2" in Joe's formula means "squared" and times 2)

Ah, using Excel I was able to produce this handy 'linearized' version:

Hmm...

I think that I see my problem now...  I always thought that the graph was a straight line and I was always having trouble with the conversion.  Now I see the error of my ways, with the correct formula, I see that the graph is not a straight line and I understand where my problem was.

Thanks

Fellow Tacoistas,

I don't know where this chart has been all these years, but what a lifesaver it will be!  As some of you know, I enjoy antique electronics, and as such, they used "cycles" in the old days.  Since we use "Hertz"
today, I was always pulling out the calculator for manual conversion:
(log[cps](Hz))2 = 1.  This chart will avoid all the potential for error.

I hope that you will find it handy as well.
