This instrument is a workshop tool for testing and calibrating any control equipment designed to accept square wave input signals. It enables the user to set up counters, rate meters, process timers, motor drives and many other types of industrial instruments without the need to rotate or move any mechanical machinery that would normally be required to drive code producing devices.
The key pad provided the user with full control over the frequency, the actual number of waveforms and the phase relationship of the output. For full encoder simulation, the actual number of pulses per revolution can be set any were from two to ninety nine thousand.
Because the user has infinite control over the signal frequency, the speed of a process can by simulated over or under the normal operation speed, providing the engineer with the facility to observe, in slow motion, the operation of machinery as it integrates with other functions of the process.
The instrument is designed and built in Australia and is already distributed in a number of other parts of the world.
