Pickering Interfaces of Clacton-on-sea has launched a module that can function as an LVDT, RVDT or resolver simulator. Occupying just one PXI or LXI chassis slot, the programmability of the module means that it minimizes the amount of hardware required. Also, since it sits in a PXI chassis alongside a customer’s other instruments, additional control ...
