The marker pulse is about .5 degrees in width. The above illustration is for 1024 line condition
(default).
The above signals are TTL differential outputs from a DS26LS31 differential driver. The logic
0 is typically between 0 and .5 volts and logic 1's are typically between 3.3 and 4 volts.
SW1 is provided as a means to determine the resolution of the simulated encoder signals.

The normal factory configuration of 2-Channel quadrature provides for output resolution of 12
bits or 4096 counts per revolution. There is no mark signal when 4096 is selected. The 4096
selection is only possible in the 14-bit mode of operation. The 2000 line choice is only valid in
the normal 14-bit mode.
The maximum tracking rate of the amplifier is determined by the resolver to digital converter,
the motors KE, and the TAC gradient.
