US Digital

Vancouver, WA - US Digital is proud to announce the release of a new encoder to PC interface product, the PCI-4E.

The PCI-4E is a PCI interface card designed to track up to 4 incremental encoders. Multiple cards can be used concurrently on the same PCI bus of a PC to obtain an additional number of channels. The PCI-4E provides fast, efficient encoder position counters for real-time data acquisition applications. An application running on a PC with a 1.8 GHz processor and Windows 2000 will store approximately 150,000 samples per second to a data array, each sample consisting of the four 24-bit encoder position counters and a 33 MHz time stamp.

Two versions are available: the single-ended PCI-4E-S for TTL quadrature inputs, or the differential PCI-4E-D for RS-422 quadrature inputs.

Demo software is provided with source code for Windows 95/98/ME and Windows NT/2000/XP.
