Encoders and decoders are common elements in alarm, remote-control, and measurement systems. However, most of these devices require many I/O lines when under microprocessor or PC control. For example, ...

All engineers know how to use their digital oscilloscope to automatically measure basic parameters such as peak-to-peak voltage, rise time, or frequency on waveforms with a few button presses. Some ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Rotary encoders provide critical information about a motor shaft’s position, rotational direction, velocity (rpm), and acceleration. They are vital components in motion-control feedback loops used in ...
