Patent attributes
A position detection and simulation platform includes software configurable logic and programmable inputs and outputs to support software configuration only changes for use with a variety of position feedback devices including synchros, resolvers, linear variable differential transformers, and rotary variable differential transformers. The platform provides support for all of these devices without making hardware changes to the platform; all changes are accomplished through software programming of configurable registers and logic devices. In this way the platform can universally be applied to applications that require interfacing to any of the supported devices. Additionally, the platform can be reconfigured through software to provide complete simulation of any of the supported devices.
