Interpolator PCB Installation Guide

The Interpolator Card supports 3 axes of analogue readhead signals and converts them to RS422 digital outputs compatible with Renishaw controllers.

UCCassist-2 software helps the user to configure, setup and de-bug the system via a USB conection to the card.

The Interpolator Card can only be used in conjunction with the appropriate Renishaw adaptor PCB and Renishaw controller solution.
