OK, thanks for the info on the AD7750.

The data sheet on this chip is excellent, guess I should have figured out
page 2, i.e. bandwidth 3.5kHz.

I have seen a device that measures kilowatt-seconds of an induction coil so
had this neat little idea that this
could be done with this chip and a Stamp and a couple
hall effect sensors.

Anyway looks like the usual 100kHz(?) to 450kHz[noparse][[/noparse]I know one machine is
definitely 450kHz] wouldn't make
this project doable.

Thanks again,

Mark
