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.
