Phidget Encoder HighSpeed
The PhidgetEncoder HighSpeed connects to any typical two-bit optical encoder and can return up to 2,000,000 pulses (that is, 500,000 full quadrature cycles) per second.
Specifically it reads a standard incremental non-differential TTL encoder.
The 1057 can be used to measure shaft speed or as a very accurate human input device. If you just need a simple human input device have a look at the 1052- PhidgetEncoder.
With it you can:
Detect changes in incremental position
Easily track changes with respect to time
