After the programs are developed and tested they can be downloaded and stored on the controller for future use. The Ensemble QLAB is programmed in an easily readable BASIC-like syntax, off-line, with a graphical user interface in Windows®, featuring an intuitive Program Editor, Variable Output window, Compiler Output window and Task State monitor. An intuitive tabbed interface provides single-press access to all setup and operation screens.

Learn more about our controls and software here. Additional software options such as the Dynamic Controls Toolbox and Motion Designer packages make available a host of advanced, yet easy-to-use, tools such as Learning Control, Harmonic Cancellation, Command Shaping, and Cross-Axis Feedforward to improve tracking errors and provide faster step-and-settle times. The Ensemble QLAB uses advanced PID servo loops with advanced feedforward and multiple integrators coupled with eight programmable filters to supply the user with all necessary tools needed to optimize motion performance. The analog outputs can be used for monitoring position or voltage output. The analog inputs can be programmatically configured to accept an external feedback sensor or position command. In addition to the four optically-isolated digital inputs, two high-speed digital inputs and four optically-isolated digital outputs, the Ensemble QLAB is equipped with four analog inputs and four analog outputs. The QLAB employs a proprietary capacitive sensor feedback circuit results in industry-leading thermal stability and exceptional long-term holding stability. An Aerotech-developed linearization method achieves linearity better than 0.01% over the full travel range in closed-loop mode.

With the optional integrated capacitance sensor, the QLAB provides low noise performance over the full travel range. Using the latest technology and high-resolution A/D and D/A converters, the QLAB enables sub-nanometer positioning resolution at high bandwidths. High Resolution and Optional Ultra-Precise Feedback

For more complex operations, the Ensemble QLAB has onboard memory for storing programs that can be accessed from the front panel or through remote control. The front panel interface allows an operator to quickly execute simple operations such as jogging and moving to fixed positions. Using the processing power of a dual-core 456 MHz, double precision, floating-point DSP, the QLAB provides exceptional performance for a wide variety of applications.
