5330A
Simulator
NAI's 5330A Synchro/Resolver Simulator is a rack-mount or bench-top instrument featuring integrated touch-screen controls and input terminals. This model represents a major step forward as it uses digital technology to produce Synchro and Resolver outputs. Improved flexibility is provided by two fully independent outputs that can be used to simulate two separate Synchro or Resolver signals simultaneously, or can be combined to operate as two-speed outputs. The versatility of this device has been substantially increased by incorporating dynamic modes that enable servo systems to be tested under various simulated stringent field conditions.
