The MKS Instruments/Newport CV1000 Display Counter is a precision digital counter designed to acquire and display encoder pulse data from manually driven stages equipped with TTL-compatible encoders. The unit features an 8-digit fluorescent display and delivers resolution down to 0.000004 inch, 0.0001 mm, or 0.0001°, with user-selectable units in inch, mm, decimal degrees, or degrees/minutes/seconds format. Built-in linear error compensation and reversible encoder direction control enable accurate position tracking across multiple measurement modes. A reference position function allows operators to establish custom zero points. The CV1000 communicates via RS-232-C interface for remote operation and data transmission to external devices. Its compact form factor (6.9 × 9.5 × 2.8 inches) accommodates benchtop and integrated system installations.
