SMT1

The SMT1, SMARTach™ Portable
Incremental Encoder Signal Analyzer, is a
versatile instrument designed to streamline
both testing and simulation of incremental
encoders, and any other equipment that
generates square wave output signals, like
linear encoders and flow meters.

This durable and easy-to-use device
combines two functionalities, Encoder Testing and Signal Simulation.

Thoroughly evaluate
encoder performance by measuring
Pulses Per Revolution (PPR), phase
separation, high/low ratio, signal
frequency, and current draw. The SMT1
allows for direct testing of incremental
encoders through their native connector
by the use of a native to 9 Pin D-Sub,
adapter cable or through its front panel
wiring posts using flying leads like those
found on the CBL1 encoder cable.
Optional DB9 adapter cables are available
with each order and allow for direct testing
without having to tear out existing wiring.

Replicate real-world
encoder outputs to test and troubleshoot
encoder-dependent systems. The SMT1
provides two output modes (continuous
and single cycle) with adjustable frequency
and selectable phase relationships (A/B or
B/A) for comprehensive testing scenarios.

The SMT1 eliminates the need for complex
setups and multiple instruments, saving
you time and effort. Its large LCD display
provides clear test results, while the optional
Windows software empowers you with
detailed analysis and report generation
capabilities.

Whether you’re an engineer, technician, or
anyone working with encoders, the SMT1
is an indispensable tool for ensuring proper
operation and efficient system testing.
