APPLICATIONS
Display Input
The Series 61 rotary encoder switch can move
cursor or icon on a display. Use the rotary and
pushbutton switch to simply select a menu
item and enter it, or write more elaborate
display software. Use the Series 61 to input
limit settings for a monitored function. Change
an item on a checklist to a new value while
viewing the remainder of the list.
Incremental Input
Use the Series 61 with an interface chip to
provide step by step input for setting radio
frequency, drill depth, RPM, etc. These changes
are usually a few steps, and you need not turn
the switch several revolutions for the desired
value. Some examples are as follows:
• Robot Position
• Volume Setting
• Radio Tuning
• Limit Setting
• Motor Control
