The MX multiplier board is designed to be used with sine wave encoders to increase the resolution of the encoder. There are four models available in the MX series, each providing different multiplication factors. Depending on the model, the user can get times 5, times 10, times 25, and times 50 multiplication.
The plots illustrated in Figure 1-3 show the input and output signals (cosine, sine, and marker) for one electrical cycle of the MX5 multiplier box. Figure 1-3.
