Digilent USB-QUAD08 Quadrature Encoder USB Device

Features and Specifications

• Eight digital I/O bits
  • Configurable as input or output
  • Digital input bits accept voltage inputs up to 50VDC (42.4 Vpk)
  • Digital output bits are open collector, with clamping diodes for CEMF (counter-electromotive force) suppression
• Eight counter inputs (quadrature/non-quadrature mode)
  • 10 MHz, 16-, 32, 48-bit resolution, ± 12 V input range
  • Indicator LEDs show the status of each counter/encoder input
  • 16 debounce settings
  • Simultaneous input and decoding of up to eight incremental quadrature encoders
  • High-speed pulse counter for general counting applications; multiple counting modes supported
  • Configurable as single-ended or differential
• Internal/extrernal pacing
• Internal software trigger and external digital trigger

The USB-QUAD08 quadrature encoder device provides configurable counter input channels along with timer outputs and digital I/O. Features include programmable debounce times, multiple counting modes, and triggering and pacing options.

Software support includes DAQami, an optional out-of-the-box application for data logging, visualization, and signal generation. Data can be viewed in real-time or post-acquisition on user-configurable displays. Drivers are included for the most popular applications and programming languages including Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual Basic.NET, DASYLab, LabVIEW, Linux, and Python.
