Deva001 interface for manual CMMs
Designed to interface industry-standard rotary shaft encoders and linear scales to PC-compatible computers, The DEVA001 incremental encoder interface card is an ideal interface between co-ordinate measuring machines and the software. It connects X, Y and Z axes and touch probe. Additional foot switch probe operation is also available.

Sin-wave interpolatorts and reader head pre-amp are optionally available

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
