1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren EMControl™
Positioner Controller Plug-in Card is a
versatile positioner controller which enables
you to synchronize the simultaneous
movements of up to two ETS-Lindgren
positioning devices (for example, towers or
turntables) and the on/off operation of an
additional auxiliary device, such as a LISN
or EUT.
EMControl allows a target location to be
entered manually or under software control
to redirect the device from its current
location to another position. EMControl
incorporates advanced acceleration and
deceleration algorithms to accurately
control variable, high speed drives.
Multiple EMControl cards can be utilized for
applications with more than two positioning
devices.
EMControl is designed for use with the EMCenter™ Modular RF Platform; for
more information about EMCenter, see page 10.
Note: EMControl is fully compatible with ETS-Lindgren towers and
turntables manufactured in 2005 and later. Contact ETS-Lindgren
for additional information.
