Reciprocity effect. All photographic emulsions are subject to an effect often called reciprocity-law failure. The reciprocity law states that intensity of the illumination falling on a film times the exposure time equals the amount of exposure (E = I x T). This law does apply for most black-and-white films from exposure times of about 1/5 sec. to 1/1000 sec. and for colour films over a narrower range. Thus, where the law holds, an exposure of 1/60 sec. at f/11 is equivalent to an exposure of 1/30 sec. at f/16. 2, record 10, English, - reciprocity%20effect

L'information transmise par le capteur, l'ordre donné à l'actionneur suite à cette information est géré par un automatisme qui crée ainsi une réponse. Il se situe dans la partie commande et amène dans le procédé en cours une régulation. La plus simple est celle qui utilise le tout ou rien assignée à deux valeurs de consignes par exemple pour la régulation de la hauteur dans un réservoir. Elle est simple mais ne permet pas d’obtenir une stabilité suffisante dans bien des cas. On utilise alors un mode de régulation par action proportionnelle. Plus l'écart entre la valeur enregistrée et sa valeur de consigne est important, plus la régulation tend à annuler progressivement cet écart créé par la perturbation constatée. Ce type de régulation est suffisante dans le cas d’une régulation de niveau par exemple. 2, record 13, French, - commande%20%C3%A0%20action%20proportionnelle
