Signal processing unit for PSD module
C10459, C10460
Specifically dedicated for PSD modules (C10442/C10443 series)
C10459 and C10460 are signal processing unit specifically design to convert the output from a PSD module (C10442/C10443 series) into position
signals. C10459 is for PSD module C10442 series and C10460 is for C10443 series.
Position signals are output as both analog and digital signals. In case of analog output, connecting the output connector to a voltmeter shows an
output voltage that directly represents the position information (The output voltage indicates a position from the center of the PSD, 1 V=1 mm).
While, digital output allows serial connection (RS-232C) to a PC. Position information can be easily loaded into a PC via the sample software that
comes with the unit.
