Abstract
A method for measuring resistance of an electromagnetic servovalve associated with a brake torque limiting control system. The servovalve is controlled by two parallel connected controllers, one a current driver controller and the other a voltage driver controller whose output is dependent upon the resistance value being measured. The method includes a short series of sequential steps and computation executed by the voltage driver controller.
