Tracking Converters Increase Data Integrity

These three- and four-channel PC/104 and compatible synchro, resolver and LVDT/RVDT-to-digital converters employ type 2 ratiometric tracking converters specifically suited for high performance embedded applications. The PC104 series modules will accept any group of up to four individual, three-wire synchro or four-wire resolver inputs, or two to four wire LVDT/RVDT inputs over a frequency range of 50 Hz to 10 kHz, with the modules then converting the inputs into 10- to 16-bit words of virtually jitter- and lag-free, natural binary data representing the input signals’ absolute physical position. Data is addressable in a 16-bit format over the PC/104 stack-bus. Data is continuously updated without interruption, and output data is said to be accurate, monotonic and always fresh up to the converter’s maximum tracking rate of the converter. Pricing starts at $995 each. COMPUTER CONVERSIONS CORP., East Northport, NY. (631) 261-3300.
