Speed of the Encoder

[GSAS - Karthick]

Hi,

Could you please let me know if there is a speed limitation on the encoder (MCC USB-QUAD08: Quadrature Encoder USB Device) in rpm?

if not, what is the maximum speed which we can measure up to?

The maximum input frequency is 10 MHz. Multiple this number by 60 to determine the maximum RPM - 60 million revs per minute. Some of our software support places artificial limits on the speed at which the measurement can be read. For instance, our DASYLab software allows for only one read per second. Our LabVIEW support limits the sample rate, too. Because of these limitations, I recommend using Python or C to create your own app and take full advantage of the features found on the USB-QUAD08.
