Hi All, We have a product that uses the HP(Agilent) HEADS 9040 (U$28 in small qt.) shaft encoder module (2000 counts/rev with index), that interfaces directly to a SX, now we're trying to reduce the cost of the product. Question is: Does anyone know if there's an "almost" drop in replacement for the HEDS module ? Any "Ching-Ling" (Taiwan/China based) ? I've already made a web search and the HP module stills the cheap one. Thanks for any help. ----------------------------------- Ricardo Seixas rseixas@pobox.com -----------------------------------
