3. Perform this step for spinning application. For non-spinning applications,
skip to Step 4.
A.
Edit the value for ZeroAlgorithm.
The zero algorithm value that you specify will affect the operation of
the Angle Zero and Bridge Zero switches.
Set ZeroAlgorithm=1, 3 or 4
1
B.
Edit the value for AngleMode.
Set the AngleMode=0
In this mode, the encoder pulses are summed in with the offset and the
resulting value addresses the sine and cosine RAM, which perform the
rotational transformation of the output signals.

Description
Direction of Positive
output from load on tire
when mounted on left
hand side of the vehicle
Direction of Positive
output from load on tire
when mounted on right
