I am not seeing an easy way to do this. Am I just over thinking it or am I totally lost? Either way is OK as long as I can understand where I am going wrong.
Conveyor running from 10~20 FPM. I get a pulse every 8"
So if I wanted to calculate PPM (Pulses Per Minute) every 20 seconds. I would just multiply the pulses counted during a 20 second timer by 3??? Because 20 seconds is 1/3 of a minute.
Then take the PPM and multiply by 8 (8" per pulse). This will give me IPM (Inches Per Minute)
IPM divided by 12 (12" per foot) FPM
Do you have a better way of doing this or some other way that might help me see the light?
