Description
Summary:International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1988 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada === A family of absolute optical shaft encoders has been configured which is based upon an electro-optical multiplexing architecture. When interfaced to a microprocessor, the resulting "smart" encoder can perform several allied data processing functions and can replace many types of electro-mechanical components. Encoder architecture, interfacing, and several allied signal processing examples are discussed.
