The E-516 is a microprocessor controlled interface and display module for the E-500 / E-501 Controller Systems (p. see link) with low-noise, 20-bit D/A and A/D converters and IEEE 488 (GPIB) & RS-232-ports.
Powerful Computer Interface
The interface supports fast communication with the host computer, with up to 300 bidirectional read/write operations per second and also includes a high-precision 20-bit D/A and A/D converters for optimum position stability and resolution.
Software / Command Set
The E-516 Module comes with Windows™ installation software, DLLs and LabView™ drivers. The command structure of the extensive command set is based on the PI General Command Set (GCS). The GCS was developed by PI to facilitate the programming and operation of a wide range of different devices with a common command language, thus reducing the programming effort in the face of complex multi-axis positioning tasks. It is supported by most PI piezo controllers and servo-motor controllers. For more information on GCS, see p. see link.
Static and Dynamic Piezo Actuator Operation
The E-516 can be used for both static and dynamic operation. The Wave Generator in the E-516 controller makes possible synchronous motion of different axes according to user-specified patterns (predefined either with mathematical functions or arbitrarily as points, stored in an internal table).

Wave Editor and Wave Generator
The E-516 has a built-in wave generator which can store up to 8192 data points for each channel. These values can then be output automatically at an internally clocked rate of up to 20 kHz. Alternatively, the output can also be controlled by an external signal and programmed for point-by-point or full-scan triggering.
The E-516 firmware can calculate wave point values for standard functions (sine, squarewave, ramps, and combinations thereof) for storage in the table. Use of this feature is facilitated by the Wave Editor GUI, where you can choose the desired function, see it on the screen, modify it and save the results for later use as desired. The Wave Editor is also available as a DLL and can be called up from all the E-516 driver sets (LabView™, COM server, DLL) and from the PZTControl™ user interface software.
