DDC has announced the latest addition to its suite of motion feedback cards: the SB-36200IX This four-channel synchro/resolver-to-digital and two-channel digital-to-synchro/resolver COTS (commercial off-the-shelf) card complements DDC's existing line by offering a lower cost, half-size version of its six-channel SB-36210IX and SB-36220IX with several performance enhancements

Positional feedback on both VME and cPCI
Data Device Corporation has developed the industry's first synchro/resolver-to-digital PMC interface card that is compatible with both VME and compact PCI hosts.
"Giving our customers a DDC alternative for applications that don't require six channels, and providing them with new benchmarks in accuracy and convenience is important to our continued success in motion feedback technology", said Jerry Kessler, Motion Feedback Technologies Product Marketing Manager at DDC.
The SB-36200IX measures and simulates synchro and resolver signals with its four channels of fully independent synchro-to-digital, resolver-to-digital, and up to two channels of digital-to-synchro/resolver.
Each D-S/R channel can accommodate DDC's DSC-11520, DSC-11524, and DR-11525 cards.
The SB-36200IX features an optional, power oscillator that supports 2, 26, and 115V RMS from 57 to 7kHz.
The card uses a 16bit, monolithic R/D approach to measurement that, according to DDC Applications Engineer Thomas F Knowles, has distinct advantages.
"Not only does our approach require fewer components, it provides a Type-2 servo-tracking loop that avoids the latency and timing issues similar cards experience".
In addition, the new card provides a wraparound self-testing feature that lets the user verify the board is operating properly once a synchro/resolver simulation channel is populated.
The SB-36200IX uses a familiar graphical user interface, in line with DDC's other motion feedback cards, that saves the application programmer from performing many low-level tasks.
The GUI operates on Windows 95/98/2000/NT platforms.
DDC also includes a dynamic link library for complete hardware utilization, and sample code for DOS consoles.
