working point Explanation: Ernst, WB der indust. Technik suggests working point or heading. For electronics he suggests "operating point" which I actually prefer for the above (it scans better), but I am not one to argue with Master Ernst. ; ) HTH and good luck, Will |

operating/operative point Explanation: I am one to argue with Ernst(!) and I think that working point sounds clumsy and gestelzt as I find it too literal. But that's just me. Try it out and see how it fits! Cheerio, Dierk |

pivot point or center of motion Explanation: You folks are all injunears and teknishuns. I am just a bean counter and peddler, but from the context "Betreibspunkt" sounds like another name for "Drehpunkt" = "pivot point" or "center of motion". |

operating point Explanation: As an ex-engineer I can say quite positively that you've chosen well. "Operating point" is a generic term used for any device having a characteristic relating two quantities, whether an electronic device (e.g. current v. voltage) or a mechanical (e.g. fluid flow v. speed). |
