12.11.1 GN6470 Binary marker card
The GN6470 binary marker input
card is a dedicated binary input
option for the GEN series
instruments. It enables to record up
to 64 binary input channels (marker
channels) with up to 1 MS/s per
channel. In addition 9 binary input
channels can be assigned under
software control to provide 3
channels of counter/timer
functionality.
The binary channels can be
recorded and reviewed in
Perception like analog channels and
enable a large number of binary
status signals to be recorded
together with the analog input
channels.
The counter/timer functionality
includes:
64-bit general purpose up/down
l
counter
Frequency/RPM counter
l
Quadrature/position
l
measurements
The counter/timer functionality uses up to 3 event bits per channel. These event
bits also keep their original functionality. You can, for example, use a
quadrature encoder and at the same time look at the quadrature signals
separately.
