[volt-nuts] Voltage to frequency

[Steve - Home]

Joe,

Loss of accuracy in the conversion process is probably the biggest reason. It's also less complex to build the voltage standard to a higher degree of accuracy and stability than to build an accurate, stable frequency standard AND an accurate, stable V to F converter.
