Not sure if there is something wrong with using momentaneous.
momentaneous
adj 1: lasting for a markedly brief time; "a fleeting glance";
"fugitive hours"; "rapid momentaneous association of
things that meet and pass"; "a momentary glimpse" [syn:
fleeting, fugitive, momentaneous, momentary]
In this case, capturing the curve moment-by-moment. http://www.meettechniek.info/measureme...tions.html "The momentaneous voltage u, current i and power p has a value that corresponds to a specific time t. A certain waveform has a infinity number of momentaneous values." Not a word I have ever heard in English English. Bit like the European word "Normative" it has no English meaning. Instantaneous is perfectly acceptable in that context. Steve |
