Hi

I am a senior student at the Cape Town Technikon involved in
instrumentation research. I have been investigating the possibility of
making a meter to monitor a lambda probe and give a reading of lambda.

I have come across two methods of monitoring the sensors output a) its
output voltage and b) by monitoring the current flow in the sensor when
a constant voltage is supplied across it. (info from SAE 860409).

Have you heard of the second method being used before? I am using a
Bosch LSM11 sensor, will it have the same characteristics as an Hitachi
sensor?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
