ATOM™ diagnostic kit

The ATOM diagnostic kit is available to assist challenging installations and aid system optimisation by reporting system performance and remote signal monitoring.

What is the ATOM diagnostic kit?

ATOM linear and rotary (angle) encoder systems feature an integral set-up LED that is usually sufficient for installation purposes. Customers with the most challenging set-up requirements are now supported by an optional ATOM diagnostic kit to aid installation and system optimisation by reporting system performance and remote signal monitoring from their PC. The kit consists of a diagnostic software package and a diagnostic hardware kit delivered in a convenient carry-case. The diagnostic kit enables the user to view the signal amplitude and confirm that the reference mark is phased correctly. An audible indication of signal amplitude can also be output in cases where the software is obstructed during readhead adjustment. The user can also remotely calibrate the system and toggle the AGC (Auto Gain Control) status.
