The video is a primer on encoder design, walking you through the basics of sensing rotation with phototransistors, and how a pair of detectors is needed to determine the direction of rotation.

In linear encoders for NC applications, external electronics interpolate sinusoidal signals from the encoder head. The effect is to subdivide the basic line spacing on the scale to gauge smaller ...

Rotary encoders track motor shaft movement for myriad pieces of industrial equipment and commercial devices. For industrial applications, incremental encoders (used when only relative position is ...

(See Figure 1.) Figure 1 Encoder Basics The old analog modulator takes in one source, typically baseband audio and video, and creates an analog carrier for those signals to ride on. Composite Video, ...

Do your users like to tinker with scripts? Keep yours out of harm's way by using Microsoft's Script Encoder. Greg Shultz shows you how to use the Encoder for basic script protection.
