4 Overview
This document describes the HALdrive X20 converter board, its electrical characteristics and usage.
This board is designed to receive digital XY3-100 scanner controller signals and to convert them to 2x
synchronous analogue output signals. So it acts as some kind of converter between two different signal types
for controlling scanning systems/scanheads.
This board is not a ready-to-use device but a component which is intended to be integrated in larger devices or
to be operated with an own housing.
4.1 Features
The HALdrive converter board provides the following features:
•
accepts 2D input signals in XY3-100 format (X and Y position data, Z is ignored if available)
•
synchronous output of analogue X and Y position data in +-5V.. +-10V range (values in between are
available on request)
•
20 bit output resolution
•
100 kHz sampling/output frequency
•
XY3-100 backchannel
•
instant-on, so there is no boot-up time until the device is available
•
input voltage range of +-15..+-24V, wider voltage range available on request
