Rev A2, Page 2/9
DESCRIPTION
The iC-tools SC is an easy to use and portable
SIN/COS encoder measurement system. It is par-
ticularly suited for development labs and for in-field
system maintenance to quickly assess the quality
of encoder SIN/COS signals. The iC-tools SC au-
tomatically measures and reports the SIN/COS off-
sets, amplitude and phase mismatch and calculates
the angular position (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The
common mode is also measured to provide a quick
overall view of the encoder integrity.
The angular data can be displayed in several units,
such as mm, inch, mil, deg, etc. (Figure 3). The flex-
ibility and ease of use allows the iC-tools SC to be
directly used for machine measurement tasks, appli-
cations traditionally served by dedicated display and
measurement units.
The iC-tools SC is flexible and scalable. Multiple USB
devices can be connected to the host PC each in-
dependently processing one SIN/COS channel, yet
integrated into one graphical control software.
The iC-tools SC can process input amplitudes be-
tween 10 mV to 0.7 V. The common mode range is
0.8 V to 3 V. The maximum input frequency is 70 kHz.
The iC-tools SC is USB bus powered and provides
stable and regulated 5 V and 3.3 V supplies of up to
250 mA for powering the connected encoder or sen-
sor.
