Engineered for precision, the IDAQ-784 is a versatile choice for applications in industrial automation, robotics, and motion control, ensuring accurate, reliable performance in demanding conditions.

Features

• 4-channel, 32-bit encoder/counter: provides high-resolution counting across four channels for detailed positional measurements
• Flexible encoder mode support accommodates quadrature (X1, X2, X4), two-pulse (CW/CCW), and pulse-direction (signed pulse) modes
• Programmable trigger output: preloaded FIFO-triggered output allows precise position comparison and event-based triggering
• Comparison output for synchronization: acts as a trigger or conversion clock for iDAQ modules through the iDAQ chassis
• Digital signal filtering: built-in digital filter reduces noise, enhancing signal clarity and measurement accuracy
• Buffered data acquisition supports buffered acquisition with full synchronization across multiple iDAQ modules for comprehensive data collection
