RPI20 parallel interface

RPI20 parallel interfaceThe RLE system directly produces a 1 Vpp sine / cosine output with signal periods of 316 nm and 158 nm from single and double pass interferometers respectively. The RPI20 interface processes these signals to provide ultra-high resolution positional feedback in parallel word format.

Features and benefits

  • 4096x interpolationDual axis VME
  • Analogue input bandwidth of <6.5 MHz
  • 36-bit parallel format output
  • Up to seven axis capability on one bus
  • Switch selectable output resolutions
  • Addressable registers providing:
    • Position data
    • Card status, inlcluding Liassajous co-ordinates, laser signal strength and system status
  • Compact 110 mm x 72 mm board size
  • Optional dual axis VME host board to enable to the RPI20 to be used in VME system architectures
