Programmable Rotary Encoder Module Applications

Productivity, ease of use, safety, ergonomics, user satisfaction

• Adjusting parameters — low to high, magnitude, volume, brightness, speed, etc.
• Varying ratio settings — balance, fade, treble/bass
• Selecting discrete items — on/off, an item in a list of options
• Choosing nonlinear settings — arbitrary and changing parameters irregularly spaced along a scale
• Navigating a layered hierarchy — a menu tree
• Scrolling selections — long and short lists
• Making precision adjustments — fine or coarse gain

This flexible response can be used to enhance usability in many applications such as:

Automotive Programmable rotary encoder modules are used for driver secondary controls such as climate, media, navigation, and other functions. Encoders providing programmable tactile feedback can reduce driver glance time. In addition to a potential safety improvement, touch contributes to the multimodal experience of higher perceived quality.		Audio/Video TouchSense rotary encoder modules provide intuitive and precise control for more productive operation of complex controls. They can also help you reduce clutter and improve aesthetics by consolidating multiple controls into one.
Control Rooms Noisy or distracting environments can limit user productivity or accuracy. Tactile feedback can offset distractions by providing unmistakable confirmation and warning signals.		Medical TouchSense rotary encoder modules give users more control through their sense of touch, allowing visual attention to patients.
Test and Measurement Where users need to be accurate, precise, or focused, touch feedback can help speed actions and facilitate user operations.
