The subject matter herein generally relates to signal detection systems.
In designs of a motherboard, some detections need to be detected, such as a signal detection. In the signal detection, some values of a signal need to be detect, such as a current of the signal and a voltage of the signal. A signal detection system may be used to detect signals from motherboards.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “coupled” is defined as connected, whether directly or indirectly through intervening components, and is not necessarily limited to physical connections. The connection can be such that the objects are permanently connected or releasably connected. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
The present disclosure is described in relation to a signal detection system which detects signals from motherboards.
The signal detection card 100 further comprises a load 70. In at least one embodiment, the load 70 is a sliding rheostat.
The second interface 30 is configured to couple to a display 80.
The first interface 20 comprises a signal detection terminal TBT, a sending terminal LSTX, a receiving terminal LSRX, and a ground terminal GND.
The second interface 30 comprises a signal detection terminal TBT, a sending terminal LSTX, a receiving terminal LSRX, and a ground terminal GND.
The voltmeter 50 is configured to detect a voltage value of a signal from the motherboard 200. The current meter 60 is configured to detect a current value of the signal from the motherboard 200.
When in use, the first interface 20 is coupled to the motherboard 200. The load 70 is coupled between the first signal detection terminal 11 of the connecting plate 10 and the second signal detection terminal 12. The first signal detection terminal 11 of the connecting plate 10 is coupled to the signal detection terminal TBT of the first interface 20. The second signal detection terminal 12 of the connecting plate 10 is coupled to the signal detection terminal TBT of the second interface 30. The sending terminal 13 of the connecting plate 10 is coupled to the sending terminal LSTX of the first interface 20 and the sending terminal LSTX of the second interface 30. The receiving terminal 14 of the connecting plate 10 is coupled to the receiving terminal LSRX of the first interface 20 and the receiving terminal LSRX of the second interface 30. The ground terminal 15 of the connecting plate 10 is coupled to the ground terminal GND of the first interface 20 and the ground terminal GND of the second interface 30.
The motherboard 200 sends the signal to the first signal detection terminal 11 of the connecting plate 10 and the second signal detection terminal 12 of the connecting plate 10 via the signal detection terminal TBT of the first interface 20. Adjusting the load 70 can change the current value and the voltage value. The motherboard 200 sends data information to the display 80 via the sending terminal LSTX of the first interface 20, the receiving terminal LSRX of the first interface 20, the sending terminal LSTX of the second interface 30, and the receiving terminal LSRX of the second interface 30.
When a user needs to detect the voltage value, two connecting terminals of the voltmeter 50 are coupled to the first signal detection terminal 11 of the connecting plate 10 and the ground terminal 15 of the connecting plate 10, respectively. When the user needs to detect the current value, the two connecting terminals of the current meter 60 are coupled to the first signal detection terminal 11 of the connecting plate 10 and the second signal detection terminal 12 of the connecting plate 10, respectively.
It is to be understood that even though numerous characteristics and advantages have been set forth in the foregoing description of embodiments, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only and changes may be made in detail, including in the matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
