Micro-Epsilon is introducing a new interface card for PCs that enables absolute synchronous capture of digital sensor signals and encoder data. The IF2008 PCIe interface card is designed for installation in PCs with PCI Express interface slots. Absolute synchronous data acquisition plays an important role in measurement applications, particularly for planarity and thickness measurement tasks. The IF2008 PCIe interface card enables the synchronous capture of four digital sensor signals and two encoders. The data is stored in a FIFO memory in order to allow resource-saving processing in the PC in blocks.
