Introduction
The MXH multiplier board is designed for use with rotary or linear sine wave encoders to
increase encoder resolution. The MXH, a higher resolution version of the original MX
Multiplier, provides a multiplication factor of times 10, 50, 100, 200, 250, or 500. When
used with an appropriate controller, the quadrature of the output signals provides an
additional times 4 factor to yield the effective multiplication of times 40, 200, 400, 800,
1000, or 2000. Custom values are available from 5 to 2,048 multiplication (after x4
controller multiplication). MXH multiplication factors may vary in .25 increments from
x1 (MXH1) to x256 (MXH256) (i.e., MXH1.25, MXH1.5, ... MXH255.75, MXH256).
Possible combinations include any that, when multiplied by 4, equal an integer (i.e.,
acceptable values are x5.25, x5.5, x11, etc.; unacceptable values are x5.4, x5.7, etc).
MXH multiplication factors from x256 (MXH256) to x512 (MXH512) may vary in
increments of 1.0 (i.e., MXH256, MXH257, ... MXH511, MXH512). A MXH multiplier
board with the cover off is shown in Figure 1-1.
