Brief description NCD

The multiple control device NCD works with Agilent, R&S, Teseq, and other software. The IEEE 488 (GPIB) is available as a standard interface device. Other interfaces are available upon request.
User-friendly, time-saving function keys
The function keys F1 to F10 allow the implementation of individual, customer-specific sequence programs for user-friendly, time-saving handling and operation. The individual programs can be stored and accessed by one function key.
Error analysis based on error codes
Diagnosis via USB interface possible
Optional analysis via the internet and Ethernet interface is possible
USB interface
Updates are easily implemented by USB stick
Possibility to plug in a computer mouse and keyboard
Easy operation with touch panel
Fast and reliable operability based on touch panel technology
Layout of the screen display can easily be adjusted according to customers’ request
Position keys
With the position keys Up/DOWN, CW/CCW, and VER/HOR, the positioners can easily be moved in
manual mode.
Real-time capable
Each program cycle will be finished in the default time frame be no matter how many devices are controlled at the same time. Due to this feature, no overflow of commands can happen when using fast remote computers.
Handheld control unit
Easy implementation of standard or customer-specific handheld control units possible
Precise Display Accuracy
The display resolution is highly precise, with position readout increments of 1 mm respectively.
0.1 degree.
Higher resolutions are possible upon request.
PLC-Update
It is possible to update the Controller's software easily via the USB port.
maturo can provide a new boot project, if required, which can be copied to a USB stick.
