The API-36005 is a full-size IBM PC card containing a broadband, high accuracy instrumentation grade Synchro/Resolver Angle Position Indicator. The angle position indicator accepts a Reference signal of either 26 Vrms or 115 Vrms, along with Synchro/Resolver Signals of 11.8, 26, or 90 Volts line-to-line, and converts these signals into 16 or 20 bits of binary angular information. The reference and synchro/resolver input signals are fully transformer isolated and can accept signals over the frequency range of 360 Hz to 5000 Hz. The API-36005 contains a built-in single angle self-test feature for confidence testing.

Demonstration software, which shows the API-36005 capabilities is available with the card. LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW support software are available on request.

APPLICATIONS

The API-36005 is a versatile high accuracy Synchro/Resolver Angle Position Indicator instrument for IBM PC-based test systems. Data to and from the angle position indicator instrument is more than an order-of-magnitude faster than conventional IEEE bus test systems, because the card plugs directly into the PC bus structure. It is ideal for use as a stand-alone angle indicator in the engineering lab or as part of the PC based automatic test equipment (ATE).
