sCommunication between PI components is based upon a universal command set (GCS – General Command Set). It decouples hardware and software, and is used for all drive systems
The E-709 opens up the possibi-lities of digital control forpiezo-driven nanopositioningsystems for the same priceas analog controllers. It is avail-able for capacitive sensors andnanopositioning stages whichare equipped with cost effectivemeasuring systems such asstrain gauges or piezoresistivesensors. The advantage: higherprecision, more control optionsand very simple operation. Inaddition, PI provides the fullfunctionality of its comprehen-sive software packages free ofcharge! The E-709 can also beused for applications providinganalog control signals. In addi-tion to a variety of digital inter-faces an analog input andoutput are also included. A soft-ware command allows the ana-log input to be interpreted asposition control signal or as a
sensor value. The analog outputcan be configured for the con-trol of external amplifiers or forthe output of position values.
Digital Linearization Now also forStrain Sensors: 10X More Precise!For the first time, the E-709 na-nopositioning controller opensup the advantages of digitalcontrol to compact systemswith strain sensors. These sen-sors are based on the strain ofmetal foils or semiconductorfilms (piezoresistive sensors)and are used when space limi-tations prevent the use ofthe more advanced capacitivesensors, or where the require-ments in terms of resolution ortemperature stability are not ascritical.The limited linearity of thesestrain sensors can be improvedby digital controllers, which use
additional linearization algo-rithms to minimize the devia-tion between target and actualposition. This improves theaccuracy by up to one order ofmagnitude and achieves linea-rity values of up to 0.02 %.
Flexibility: Software Configu-rable Servo Parameters
All servo controllers require tu-ning and adjustment of servoparameters for optimum per-formance (e.g. as a result ofchanges to the load or the mo-tion profile). With a digital con-troller, all adjustments arecarried out by simple softwarecommands and the resultingmotion or transient characteris-tics can be viewed, analyzedand further optimized immedi-ately with the provided soft-ware. It is also possible toswitch between previouslyfound sets of parameters whenthe controller is in operation.Since jumpers and potentiome-ters no longer have to be setmanually, system integrationbecomes much more straightforward.
OEM Versions at anEven Lower Price
E-709 controllers are also of-fered without case. A lower costversion sold as the E-609 isavailable for purely analog con-trol signals, maintaining theadvantages of digital signal pro-cessing and parameter setting.

E-753 Ultra-High Performance Digital Piezo Controller, 1 AxisHigh-Speed, Single-Axis Controller
The E-753 next-generation digi-tal piezo controller is the resultof PI's 30+ years of experiencewith piezo motion control sys-tems. It is ideal when it comesto meeting the most demandingaccuracy and dynamic-perfor -mance requirements of nanopo-sitioning systems of the highestprecision class. The E-753replaces the E-750 controller.
Digital Linearization andControl Algorithms for HighestAccuracyLinearization algorithms basedon higher -order polynomialsimprove the positioning accura-cy to 0.001 % of the travel range. During fast periodic motion, astypical for scanning appli -cations, the tracking accuracycan be further improved with
Dynamic Digital Linearization(DDL, E-710.SCN). This optional-ly available control algorithmreduces the tracking error by afactor of up to 1000 and enablesthe spatial and temporal track-ing during a dynamic scan.
Higher Velocity and Bandwidthfor Dynamic Applications
The controller is perfectly suitedfor high-dynamics operationthanks to its high-resolution DA-converter and high-perform-ance voltage amplifier . Thehigh-speed processor with asensor sampling rate of 100 kHzassures settling times in the mil-lisecond range and below.
Flexibility for a Variety ofApplications
PI nanopositioning systemswhich are equipped with an ID-chip and calibrated with a di -gital controller have the mecha -nics-related calibration andservo-control parameters storedin the chip. The controller auto-matically adapts to the connect-ed mechanics by the appropri-ate use of this data, so thatrecalibration is not necessarywhen system components arereplaced.
The integrated wave generatorcan save and output periodic
motion profiles. In addition tosine and triangle waves, arbi-trary, user -defined profiles canbe created.
Simple System Integration
All parameters can be checkedand reset via software. Systemsetup and configuration is donewith the included Nano Cap -ture™ and PIMikroMove™ user -interface software. Interfacing tocustom software is facilitatedwith included LabVIEW driversand DLLs. System programmingis the same with all PI con-trollers, so controlling a systemwith a variety of different con-trollers is possible without diffi-culty.

E-761 digital piezo controllersoffer advanced control tech-nology in a cost-effective PCI-board format. They weredesigned to run piezo stageswith up to three logical axes.The E-761 incorporates fourinstrumentation-class, 24-bitdigital-analog converters (DAC)behind ultra-low-noise poweramplifiers, and is based on aspecialized 32-bit digital signalprocessor (DSP) with propri-etary firmware.
Having PCI-board format, theE-761 digital controller can beeasily installed in any com-mercial or industrial PC, allow-ing for easy integration withother devices such as framegrabbers. The PCI interfacewith its high bandwidth makespossible a very fast communi-cation between software and
controller. This is a definiteplus in time-critical applica-tions or when controlling sev-eral axes.
Additionally, the E-761.3CTversion offers three digitaloutput lines for a variety oftriggering tasks.
Improved Trajectory AccuracyThrough Parallel Metrology
Digital controllers have anumber of advantages overconventional analog piezocontrollers. Sensor and actua-tor axes need not be parallelto each other, or to the ortho -gonal logical axes used tocommand the system. Theflexible coordinate transfor-mation algorithm permitsoperation of complex, multi-axis, parallel metrology stages(e. g. 3-axis Z-tip-tilt-stages).
With parallel motion metrolo-gy, the controller compen-sates the undesired off-axismotion of each actuator auto-matically using the others(active trajectory control).High-end nanopositioningsystems with active trajectorycontrol can attain motionaccuracies in the sub-nanome-ter range.
Digital Linearization andControl Algorithms forHighest Accuracy
Linearization algorithms basedon higher -order polynomialsimprove the positioning accu-racy to 0.001 % of the travelrange.
During fast periodic motion,as typical for scanning appli-cations, the tracking accuracycan be further improved withDynamic Digital Linearization(DDL, E-710.SCN). This option-ally available control algo-rithm reduces the trackingerror by a factor of up to 1000.
The integrated wave genera-tor can save and output peri-odic motion profiles. In addi-tion to sine and trianglewaves, arbitrary, user -definedprofiles can be created.
Automatic Configuration
PI digital piezo controllers andnanopositioning stages withID-chips can be operated inany combination, supportedby the controller's AutoCali -bration function. Individualstage data and optimizedservo-control parameters arestored in the ID-Chips and areread out automatically by thedigital controller.
Simple System Integration
All parameters can be set and checked by software.System setup and configura-tion is done with the included
NanoCapture™ and PZTCon -trol™ user -interface software.Interfacing to custom softwareis facilitated with includedLabVIEW drivers and DLLs. AllPI controllers use the samecommand set, a significantadvantage during applicationsoftware development, sys-tem upgrade or when operat-ing a variety of different con-trollers from one application.

E-710 Digital Piezo Nanopositioning Controller, Many Options3 to 6 axes, extremely versatile
E-710 digital piezo controllersoffer sophisticated functionalityin a variety of configurations.Based on powerful 32-bit DSPs(digital signal processor) theyinclude integrated, low-noisepower amplifiers for piezo actu-ators and excitation/read-outelectronics for extremely high-resolution capacitive positionsensors. E-710s provide up to 8piezo driver channels, 7 sensorchannels and the processingpower for coordinated controlof up to 6 logical axes, e. g. forparallel kinematics systems.
Digital Linearization andControl Algorithms forHighest Accuracy
Linearization algorithms basedon higher -order polynomialsimprove the positioning accura-cy to 0.001% of the travel range.The high-speed processor witha sensor sampling rate of 25 kHz, assures settling times inthe millisecond range andbelow. The controller is perfect-ly suited for high-dynamics ope-ration, thanks to its high-resolu-tion DA-converters and high-performance voltage amplifiers.
More than just a Controller—Trajectory Control and DataRecording
During fast periodic motion, astypical for scanning applica-tions, the tracking accuracy canbe further improved with Dy -namic Digital Linearization(DDL, E-710.SCN). This optional-ly available control algorithmreduces the tracking error by afactor of up to 1000. This control algorithm enablesthe spatial and temporal tra-cking during a dynamic scan.The integrated wave generatorcan save and output periodicmotion profiles. In addition tosine and triangle waves, arbitra-ry, user-defined profiles can becreated. The flexibly configura-ble data recorder enables simul-taneous recording and read-outof the corresponding data.
Sensor-Signal Transmissionup to 15 m
A remote sensor interface box isavailable for applications wherethe distance between the me -chanics and electronics is grea-ter than 10 m. This DST option(digital sensor -signal transmis-sion), includes a compatible E-710 controller . It is designedto reduce the interference thatbegins to degrade performancewhen the analog sensor excita-tion and readout signal pathsexceed 10 m. The connectionbetween the sensor box and thecontroller can be up to 15 m(longer distances on request),as the digital signals it carriesare far more robust.
Simple System Integration
All parameters can be checkedand reset via software. Systemsetup and configuration is donewith the included NanoCap -ture™ and PIMikroMove™ user-interface software. Interfacingto custom software is facilitatedwith included LabVIEW driversand DLLs. System program-
ming is the same with all PI con-trollers, so controlling a systemwith a variety of different con-trollers is possible without diffi-culty.

The E-712 digital piezo con-troller is ideal when it comes tomeeting the most demandingaccuracy and dynamic-perfor-mance requirements of multi-axis nanopositioning systems.The high-performance, real-time operating system makespossible coordinated servo-control of multiple axes (also inparallel-kinematics systems)and thus ensures excellent tra-jectory control even duringcomplex motion. The modulardesign allows flexible confec-tion of systems supporting thenumber of axes and channelsrequired for the application.Flexibility in meeting cus-tomers' needs is also behindthe interface design: The op-tional analog inputs and out-puts support processingexternal sensor or control sig-nals as well as driving externalamplifiers.
Digital Linearization andControl Algorithms forHighest Accuracy
Linearization algorithms basedon higher-order polynomialsimprove the positioning accu-racy to better than 0.01 % forcapacitive sensors, typically
10 times better than achievablewith conventional controllers.
More than just a Controller—Trajectory Control and DataRecording
During fast periodic motion, astypical for scanning applica-tions, the tracking accuracy canbe further improved with Dy-namic Digital Linearization(DDL, E-710.SCN). This option-ally available control algorithmreduces the tracking error by afactor of up to 1000 and enablesthe spatial and temporal track-ing during a dynamic scan. Theintegrated wave generator canoutput periodic motion profiles.In addition to sine and trianglewaves, arbitrary, user-definedmotion profiles can be createdand stored. The flexibly config-urable data recorder enablessimultaneous recording andread-out of the correspondingdata.
Flexible Analog Inputs andReal-time PIO
Each of the four optionallyavailable analog inputs can beconfigured in two ways. Whenused as a control input, the ap-plied voltage is linked to one of
the axes, for target value set-tings, for example. When con-figured as an external sensorinput, additional sensor signalse.g. for auto-focusing, can beread in. Alternatively, the sys-tem can be equipped with a fast32-bit PIO (Parallel I/O) for plac-ing commands. The PIO sup-ports a restricted command setrequired for the motion with100,000 read and write com-mands per second.
Simple System Integration
All parameters can be checkedand reset via software. Systemsetup and configuration is donewith the included NanoCap-ture™ and PIMikroMove™ user-interface software. Interfacing tocustom software is facilitatedwith included LabVIEW driversand DLLs. System programmingis the same with all PI con-trollers, so controlling a systemwith a variety of different con-trollers is possible without diffi-culty.

The modular E-712 digital con-troller is the platform for themost demanding nanoposition-ing applications. The basicelements of the modular con-cept are the casing (E-712.R1 orE-712.R4) and the CPU(E-712.M1 or E-712.N1). Furthercomponents are available suchas different amplifiers, signalconditioners and additionalinterfaces from the E-711 range.
How many axes wouldyou like?
For special applications, up to13 channels can be operated ina 19" chassis (482 mm). Con-ventional applications with upto 6 axes can be fitted into com-pact 9.5" (241 mm) casings.The casings are equipped withpower supplies to suit the typeof drive: The E-712.R1 is de-signed for conventional nano-positioning with low-voltageactuators with up to 6 axes. TheE-712.R4 is designed for up to3 NEXLINE® drives or Pico-Cube® AFM scanners.
Adjusting the stepping motionof a drive allows operating
modes from fast stepping or aconstant speed mode to thepurely analog shear operation.As an alternative to operatingone individual drive, the sameE-712 controller can also oper-ate nanopositioning systemswith three NEXLINE® drives incoordination.
The Hard Core
The E-712 is PC based. Its com-puting power is designed forprocessing times by having aservo update rate of up to 50kHz, for example. In addition,algorithms for linearization,control, to transform coordi-nates or store trajectory infor-mation are carried out in real
time. Even for dynamic applica-tions, the position can thus beachieved with an accuracy of afew nanometers, for example.The varying requirementsplaced on the motions mean

26.0
The E-610 is an OEM amplifier& position servo-control boardfor low-voltage piezo actuatorsand positioning systems. It in-tegrates a low-noise piezo am-plifier which can output andsink peak currents of 180 mA ina voltage range of -20 to+120 V. Three versions areavailable: E-610.00 (only ampli-fier) and closed-loop versionsE-610.S0 and E-610.C0 with ad-ditional components for posi-tion measurement and servocontrol.
Closed-Loop and Open-LoopPiezo Positioning
The units are designed to pro-vide high-resolution operationof piezo actuators and position-ing systems in voltage-con-trolled mode (open-loop) and inposition-controlled mode(closed-loop).
In closed-loop position controlmode, displacement of thepiezo is highly linear and pro-portional to the analog signal.The servo modifies the ampli-
fier output voltage based on theposition sensor signal. Thus,positioning accuracy and re-peatability down to the sub-na-nometer range is possible,depending on the piezo me-chanics and on the sensor type.
PI employs proprietary positionsensors for fast response andoptimum positioning resolutionand stability in the nanometerrange and below. For high-endapplications, capacitance sen-sors provide direct and non-contact position feedback(direct metrology). Strain gaugesensors (SGS) are available forcost-effective applications. Theintegrated notch filters (ad-justable for each axis) improvethe stability and allow high-bandwidth operation closer tothe resonant frequency of themechanics.
In open-loop (voltage-con-trolled) operation the outputvoltage is determined by an ex-ternal analog signal. Open-loopoperation is ideal for applica-
tions where fast response andvery high resolution with maxi-mum bandwidth are essential.Here, commanding and readingthe target position in absolutevalues is either not important orcarried out by external positionsensors (see p. 2-104).
Remote Control via ComputerInterface
For digital-interface computercontrol, consider the E-621 (seep. 2-160) and E-625 (seep. 2-114) instead.
Alternatively control via PCusing a D/A board is possible. PIoffers a LabVIEW driver setwhich can be used with certainD/A boards from National In-struments.
Operation / Contents ofDelivery
A single stabilized voltage inthe range of 12 to 30 V is suffi-cient to operate the E-610. Anintegrated DC/DC convertergenerates the piezo operatingvoltage and all other voltagesused internally. All inputs and
outputs (except capacitive sen-sor lines) are available on themale 32-pin rear connector. Amatching female 32-pin con-nector is included in the con-tents of delivery to interfacewith your circuitry.

Digital and Analog Interfaces: USB, Fast 24-Bit D/A Converters, Analog ServoModular & Bench-Top Piezo Nanopositioing Controller
The E-621.CR module features USB, RS-232 and Analog Interfaces
The E-621 is equipped with anRS-232 and USB interface andprecision 24-bit converters forexceptional positional stabilityand resolution. It integratesa low-noise piezo amplifierwhich can output and sink peakcurrents of 120 mA for low-volt-age piezoelectric actuators.Servo-controller versions forposition sensing with capaci-tive or SGS sensors are avail-able.
Closed-Loop and Open-LoopPiezo Positioning
The E-621 controller moduleprovides precision control ofpiezo actuators and positioningsystems both in closed-loopand open-loop operation. Thepiezo controllers compriseadditional circuitry for positionsensing and servo-control.Displacement of the piezo iscontrolled by an analog signal.Positioning accuracy and
repeatability down to thesub-nanometer range is possi-ble, depending on the piezomechanics and sensor type.High-resolution position sen-sors provide optimum position-al stability and fast response inthe nanometer range.Capacitive sensors measureposition directly and withoutphysical contact (direct metrol-ogy). Alternatively compactcost-effective strain gaugesensors (SGS) are available.The integrated notch filters(adjustable for each axis) im-prove stability and allow high-bandwidth operation closer tothe resonant frequency of themechanics.In open-loop operation theoutput voltage is determinedby an external analog signal.Open-loop operation is idealfor applications where fastresponse and very high resolu-tion with maximum bandwidth
are essential. Here, command-ing and reading the target posi-tion in absolute values is eithernot important or carried outby external position sensors.
High-Resolution DigitalInterface
The digital interface includeshigh-precision 24-bit A/D con-verters for optimum positionstability and resolution andsupports fast communicationwith the host-computer.
Multi-Axis Network for up to12 Channels
Up to twelve E-621s for capaci-tive or SGS sensors can be net-worked and controlled over asingle PC interface. The differ-ent modules are connected inparallel (not daisy-chained)over the link. Only an addition-al 10 ms internal bus communi-cations time is required toreach any of the units behindthe one actually connected tothe host PC.
Waveform Memory
The built-in wave table canstore user-defined data pointsinternally. These values canthen be output automatically(or under the control ofan external signal) and pro-grammed for point-by-pointor full-scan triggering. Thus,
trajectory profiles can be repea-ted reliably and commandedeasily.
Software / GCS Command Set
The E-621 controller comeswith Windows installation soft-ware, DLLs and LabVIEW driv-ers. The extensive commandset is based on the hard-ware-independent GeneralCommand Set (GCS), which iscommon to all current PI con-trollers for both nano- andmicropositioning systems. GCSreduces the programmingeffort in the face of complexmulti-axis positioning tasks orwhen upgrading a system witha different PI controller.

The E-665 is a bench-top piezolinear amplifier and positionservo-controller with integrat-ed high-speed 24-bit computerinterface and a high-bandwidthanalog interface.

The E-664 is a bench-top ampli-fier & position servo-controllerthat is especially designed forthe P-611.3S NanoCube ® XYZnanopositioning system (see p.2-52). Three integrated low-noise amplifiers and controlcircuitry for strain gauge posi-tion sensors allow closed-loopposition resolution down to 2 nm and dynamic operation.
The combination of the E-664servo-controller and P-611.3SNanoCube® piezo stage makesfor a very cost-effective preci-sion 3D nanopositioning system.
Closed-Loop and Open-LoopPiezo Positioning
The E-664 servo controller canbe operated both in closed-loop (position-control) and inopen-loop (voltage-control)mode. In closed-loop mode,piezo displacement is propor-
tional to the analog signalapplied to the BNC control-input socket. The integratednotch filters (adjustable foreach axis) improve the stabilityand allow high-bandwidthoper ation closer to the piezo -mechanics resonant frequency. In open-loop operation the out-put voltage is determined bythe analog control signal at theBNC Control Input socket,optionally combined with theDC-offset potentiometer . V ol -tage controlled operation (incontrast to position-controlledoperation) is used in applica-tions where the fastest possi-ble response and very high res-olution with maximum band-width are essential, and/orwhen commanding and read-ing the target position inabsolute values is either notimportant or accomplishedwith an external feedback loop(see p. 2-104). The precision
10-turn potentiometers canalso be used alone to set theoutput voltages manually.
Versatile I/O SupportsAutomation
On-target and overflow statusinformation is displayed sepa-rately for every channel. Thisinformation is also present ona 14-pin I/O connector on therear panel that also carries theanalog control input and sen-sor monitor lines.
Remote Control via ComputerInterface
Optionally, digital control viaan external D/A converter is
possible. For several D/Aboards from National Instru -ments, PI offers a correspon-ding LabVIEW driver set whichis compatible with the PIGeneral Command Set (GCS),the command set used by all PIcontrollers. A further optionincludes the patented Hyper -Bit™ technology providingenhanced system resolution.

The E-536 is a controller for theP-363 PicoCube ® pico-position-ing system providing threeultra-low-noise amplifier chan-nels for piezo shear actuators.The controller design meets thespecial requirements of thehigh-speed, ultra-high-perform -ance PicoCube ® XY(Z) piezostages (see p. 2-66) of ±250 Vfor both static and dynamicapplications.
The high-performance E-536.3xcan output and sink peak cur-rents up to 200 mA featuring a small-signal bandwidth of 10 kHz. The E-536.3xH ultra-high-resolution models providea position resolution below0.03 nm at a peak power of 50 W . Both models are avail-able with or without a servomodule for closed-loop oropen-loop operation.
Superior Resolution and High Dynamics
Open-loop operation is idealfor applications where fastresponse and very high resolu-tion with maximum bandwithare essential. Here, command-ing and reading the traget posi-tion in absolute values is eithernot important or carried out byexternal position sensors.Together with the P-363PicoCube® a resolution of 0.05 nm or better is achieved.
Excellent Position Accuracywith Capacitive Sensors
The E-536.3C versions haveintegrated sensor electronicsand servo-controllers forclosed-loop position control.Position feedback is providedby capacitive sensors, like
those in the PicoCube ®, withresolutions down to 0.1 nm.
Computer Control
Control via PC is possible byinstalling the E-517, 24-bitinterface/display module.
Optionally digital control via aD/A converter is possible. Forseveral D/A boards fromNational Instruments PI offersa corresponding LabVIEW™driver set which is compatiblewith the PI General CommandSet (GCS), the command setused by all PI controllers. A fur-ther option includes the patent-ed Hyperbit™ technology pro-viding enhanced system reso-lution.

High Currents up to 20 A, High DynamicsE-618 High-Power Piezo Amplifier
The E-618 piezo amplifier offers high currents for dynamic operationwhich make it ideally suited for fast switching applications
(here: the E-618.10G 9.5'' chassis version)
The E-618 high-power ampli-fier / controller is specificallydesigned for ultra-high-dynam-ics operation of piezo actuators(translators). It can output andsink a peak current of 20 A andan average current of 800 mA ina voltage range of -30 to 130 V.
Besides the amplifier module,three standard configurationsare available:
E-618.10G is a bench-topamplifier in a 9.5'' chassis,for open-loop operation(1 channel)
E-618.1G is the amplifiermodule in a 19'' rackmountchassis that can hold addi-tional interface / displaymodules
E-618.20G is a 2-channelversion in a 19'' rackmountchassis
Fast Switching
The amplifier features a highbandwidth of more than 15 kHzcombined with extremely shortrise times in the microsecondrange and a high output power.This makes it ideal for fastswitching applications for val-ves, pumps, for microstructureand material testing. Further-more, it is perfectly suited forsystems for active vibrationcontrol.
Piezo OvertemperatureProtection
To protect the mechanics espe-cially in high-dynamics applica-tions, the E-618 features a tem-perature sensor input and con-troller circuit that shuts downthe amplifier if the PZT exceedsthe maximum temperaturethreshold.
Analog and Digital Control
All E-618 amplifiers come witha high bandwidth analog inter-face. An optional 24-bit com-puter interface is available asE-517.Note: Spezial ConnectorRequired
The high electrical currentsrequire adequate connectorsand cabling. Therefore, stand-ard piezo systems and actua-tors have to be adapted.

The E-617 is an exceptionallyefficient, high-power, piezoamplifier for low-voltage piezoactuators. Providing peakpower of up to 280 W and aver-age power of 100 W, it can out-put and sink a peak current of2000 mA. This allows drivinghigh-capacitance piezo actua-tors at frequencies in the kilo-hertz range.
Energy Recovery OperatingPrinciple
The working principle of theE-617 series is ideally suited forhigh-dynamics scanning andswitching applications.
The innovative, efficient cir-cuitry reduces power consump-tion and heat dissipation,especially in dynamic applica-tions. Charge is transferred tothe piezo actuator using low-loss PWM techniques. Whenthe actuator is discharged, the
energy not consumed is fedthrough the energy recoverycircuitry for reuse in the nextcharging cycle.
Two models are available: TheE-617.001 version is equippedfor top-hat rail mounting whichmakes it ideal for automationand industry applications. TheE-617.00F version is a compactmodule for chassis mounting.
High Performance with HighCapacitive Loads
The E-617 amplifiers provideprecision control of piezo actu-ators and positioning systemsin open-loop operation with ananalog control voltage ampli-fied by the factor 10. Such ana-log operation is ideal forapplications where fast re-sponse and very high resolu-tion with maximum bandwidthare essential, but where com-manding and reading the target
position absolutely is either notimportant or carried out byexternal position sensors.
Power Supply / Contents ofDelivery
Only one unipolar stabilizedvoltage in the range of 23 to26 V is required to operate theE-617.
All connections of theE-617.001 top-hat rail moduleare conveniently provided onthe front of the device. All in-puts and outputs of theE-617.00F OEM module are viaa 32-pin rear connector. Matingconnectors are included.
Remote Control via ComputerInterface
Optionally, digital control viaan external D/A converter ispossible. For several D/Aboards from National Instru-ments, PI offers a correspon-ding LabVIEW driver set whichis compatible with the PI Gen-eral Command Set (GCS), thecommand set used byall PI controllers. A further op-tion includes the patented Hy-perbitTM technology providingenhanced system resolution.
The same functionality andspecifications are available inthe E-504 amplifier module. seep. 2-148.
