Digilent MCC USB-QUAD08 – Quadrature Encoder USB Device (8-Channel)

• Provides configurable counter input channels along with timer outputs and digital I/O
• Eight counter inputs (quadrature/non-quadrature mode)
• Eight digital I/O bits
• Programmable debounce times
• Multiple counting modes 

The Digilent MCC USB-QUAD08 quadrature encoder device provides configurable counter input channels along with timer outputs and digital I/O. Features include programmable debounce times, multiple counting modes, and triggering and pacing options.

The MCC USB-QUAD08 is a USB 2.0 high-sped device supported under popular Microsoft Windows operating systems. The device is compatible with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ports.

The USB-QUAD08 provides the following features:

• Eight counter inputs (quadrature/non-quadrature mode)

              o Simultaneous input and decoding of up to eight incremental quadrature encoders

              o High-speed pulse counter for general counting applications; multiple counting modes supported

              o Configurable as single-ended or differential

              o 10 MHz, 16-, 32, 48-bit resolution, ± 12 V input range

              o Indicator LEDs show the status of each counter/encoder input

              o 16 debounce settings

• Eight digital I/O bits

              o Configurable as input or output

              o Digital input bits accept voltage inputs up to 50VDC (42.4 Vpk)

              o Digital output bits are open collector, with clamping diodes for CEMF (counter-electromotive force) suppression  

• Internal/external pacing
• Internal software trigger and external digital trigger

Software support includes DAQami, an optional out-of-the-box application for data logging, visualization, and signal generation. Data can be viewed in real-time or post-acquisition on user-configurable displays. Drivers are included for the most popular applications and programming languages including Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual Basic.NET, DASYLab, LabVIEW, Linux, and Python.
