Sort of looks like a "backwards" resolver, that is it has sine and cos drive 
signals and a single pickup (well summed pickups). It _might_ be possible to 
run it backwards with a single drive like a resolver, but I'm not sure, You 
would probably have to hookup a audio source and a scope to find out.

Might also be possible to read it with our resolver interface (7I49) with 
different firmware.
