    2 System Hardware 2.1 System Schematic The QNET Physics and Dynamics provides the communication interface with the NI ELVIS II for the electromagnet release commands and encoder ports. The interaction between the different system components on the QNET Physics and Dynamics is illustrated in Figure 2.1. The NI ELVIS II is interfaced to the PC or laptop via USB link. The NI ELVIS II block reads the angular encoder inputs of the catapult axis and the pulley on the sliding mass arm.
