| Designed
to interface industry-standard rotary shaft encoders and linear
scales to PC-compatible computers, the DEVA001 incremental
encoder interface card makes it possible to measure position,
velocity and acceleration in such wide-ranging applications
as robotics, co-ordinate measuring machines and CNC machine
tools.
Based on a custom-designed ASIC quadrature
counter, the DEVA001 interface card provides three
independent encoder channels each with a 32-bit position counter
with a maximum count rate of 10MHz. The DEVA001 also
contains a wealth of synchronisation and triggering facilities
which enables both OEMs and end-users to create powerful and
highly flexible PC-based measurement systems.
A comprehensive software support package
includes libraries and examples for modern rapid application
development tools such as Visual Basic, Visual 'C' and LabVIEW.
Plug 'n' Play software support for Windows 98/NT4/2000/ME/XP
and Vista enables simple installation and automatic configuration
of up to 6 interfaces supporting a total of 18 encoders. The
card is also supplied with a multi-axis digital readout program
which is useful for system verification and experimentation.
