Output Configuration
March 29, 2018
Vibration Research’s VR9700 controller has two 32-bit outputs: drive and COLA/AUX. The VR10500 controller has four 32-bit output channels: three drive outputs and a COLA/AUX.
The VR9700/VR10500 can be used for a variety of shaker system configurations, including:
Single Axis: One unit using the drive output
Single Axis with Differential Output: One unit using the drive output and COLA/AUX output; applications include: push-pull, amplifier with differential input, etc.
Single Axis with COLA (Constant Level Output Adaptor): One unit using the drive output and COLA/AUX output; applications include: strobe light, external recording device, etc.
DC Offset: One unit using the drive output and COLA/AUX output
Multi-axis Control
The VR10500 outputs can be configured for multi-shaker control.
Dual-axis with Phase (a.k.a. Dualing Shakers): One unit using the drive output and COLA/AUX output
Dual-axis (No Phase): One unit using two drive outputs
3-Axis: One unit using three drive outputs
4-Post: Four units using the drive output from multiple units
