FPS Sensor Systems PAGE 194 FPS Sensor Systems – Interfaces real-time connectivity FPS sensor systems are designed for ease of use and simple connectivity. Measured displacement information can be transferred to a personal computer using USB or Ethernet (optional), where the advanced measurement software of the FPS allows synchronous data visualization, analysis, and storage. In addition to these standard interfaces, the FPS offers stand-alone operation capabilities through high-speed real-time digital interfaces. For each interferometer axis, an incremental AquadB and an absolute 8-48 bit high speed serial word (HSSL) interface is available. The resolution of both AquadB and HSSL interfaces is user-adjustable, as well as their clock rate (up to 25 MHz). 45 mm 214 mm 1 6 5 4 3 2 214 mm Interface Specifications target velocity [m/s] 0.00001 0.001 0.01 0.1 1 resolution USB (abs.) 64 bit, 100 kHz [nm] 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 resolution HSSL (abs.) 8-48 bit, up to 25 MHz [nm] 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001 resolution AquadB (inc.) at 25 MHz [nm] 0.004 0.04 0.4 4 40
