[0002] In modern industrial automation, power system monitoring, and high-precision testing and measurement, the demand for multi-channel, synchronous, and high-precision signal acquisition is becoming increasingly urgent. This is especially true in complex power electronic devices such as motor drives, multiphase inverters, and grid-connected converters, where real-time and accurate monitoring of multiphase currents and voltages is required for precise control, protection, and status analysis. In this context, dual three-channel RD converters have emerged as key components for addressing these core challenges.

[0066] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the system implements conversion accuracy testing: Computer control software controls the power supply to the fixture plate and simultaneously controls the resolver signal simulator to output reference and signal. During conversion accuracy testing, the simulator is set to output different angular position signals. The data acquisition unit collects and reads the digital position data output by the converter, performs data calculation and error judgment, and then transmits the judgment result back to the computer control software.
