Software-Based Controller for Generation of Synchronized Pulses for Use with Rotating Machinery.

摘要

An IBM PC/AT based software package has been developed to synchrotronize test equipment with rotating machinery. Up to eight outputs can be controlled independently. The pulse sequences can be as long as 254 shaft encoder revolutions and repeat until terminated. Unlike most purpose-built controllers, this software package is highly flexible. Complicated pulse sequences are easily generated and can quickly be modified using the built-in editor or a standard text editor. While the software requires a dedicated computer, implementation is easier and more cost effective than construction of a purpose-built controller. 4 figs., 2 tabs.
