The North Atlantic 8300 Angle Position Indicator is a high-accuracy instrument for precise measurement and display of angular displacement in automated test equipment and fixed installation environments. Built on LSI TRIG LOGIC Processor™ technology, it converts synchro and resolver inputs into digital angle data with 0.05° absolute accuracy and 0.01° resolution across the full 000.00° to 359.99° range.
Technical Specifications
• Input Channels: 2 independent channels
• Input Type: Synchro or Resolver (all standard configurations supported)
