I'm in the process of modifying a Manual Pulse Generator to be used as
an indexer. I hadn't planned on using the knob to select the number of
divisions/revolution, but that should be pretty easy (there's an encoder
knob and a 2-digit display, so as long as you need 99 or less divisions
per revolution, it should work). You'd probably have to use a computer
to set the total number of step pulses per revolution and acceleration
parameters.
