FP-QUAD-510 8 www.ni.com
The velocity range is the maximum velocity that can be measured
for a given timebase. The velocity register uses a 15-bit counter,
which gives a maximum number of counts of 215, or 32,768. So, the
velocity range for a given timebase is calculated using the
following formula:
where Vrng is the velocity range in counts per microsecond and T is
the timebase in microseconds.
The velocity resolution is the velocity accuracy for a given
timebase and is determined using the following formula:
where Vres is the velocity resolution in counts per millisecond and
T is the timebase in microseconds.
Index Status Channel Operation
The FP-QUAD-510 includes four discrete input channels, channels
12 through 15, which contain the status of the Index signal for axes
0 through 3 respectively. This signal is latched to a 1 when the
condition at the axis inputs is Phase A = 0, Phase B = 0, and
Index= 1. This bit remains latched until it is read, at which point it
is cleared automatically.
