Sensor Verification Report
Hardware-level compatibility tests for industrial sensors on real-time control and HIL platforms
Verification Summary
This incremental encoder has been verified compatible with the Quanser Q8-USB DAQ board under the QUARC/Simulink real-time environment. The encoder's A/B/Z channel outputs were connected directly to the Q8-USB digital I/O terminals with no additional driver or signal conditioning required. Position and direction were read correctly through the QUARC HIL Read block, with stable pulse counts confirmed across multiple test runs.
Verification Information
- Sensor Model: Incremental Encoder (XXX)
- Test Platform: Quanser Q8-USB
- Software Environment: QUARC / Simulink
- Signal Type: Incremental Encoder (Channel A/B)
- Test Date: 2026
- Status: ✅ Verified
Verification Result
The encoder was successfully recognized and operated within the Quanser environment. Signal output was clean and stable, with no missed counts or direction errors observed during testing. The same electrical interface (5V logic, open-collector A/B outputs) is also commonly used with other real-time control platforms such as dSPACE and Speedgoat, though those platforms have not been directly tested by us.
