PR-1000 Developer Tool & Kit

Windows-based Immersion Studio for PR-1000 software lets programmers define and experience the PR-1000 rotary encoder module’s tactile profiles, modify profile parameters, and save the corresponding register values to an electronic file. When an encoder or Demonstration Unit is connected to the host computer, any change to a parameter is downloaded to the device registers, allowing design changes to be immediately experienced. The downloaded parameters only remain on the device until another parameter set is downloaded, or the device is powered off.

Tactile profile parameters include shape, width, amplitude, and number of detents, as well as the type and strength of bounding conditions. Immersion offers a detailed programming guide that illustrates the types of profiles that can be created for the PR-1000 rotary encoder and explains how to define profiles to be played in real time.

The developer kit includes two PR-1000 rotary encoders, a communication interface board supporting USB and RS-232, and cables for prototyping purposes. Immersion also offers customized training and support for product design, integration, and application development.
