Setup and Programming

8. Press right DIGIT.

— LED display indicates:

YES or NO

— LCD display reads:

Download: - upper line

9. Press up or down VALUE to select "YES" to initialize the

ports for reverse characters (on some external printers)

or "NO" for standard characters.

10. Press ENTER to return to measurements mode.

Encoders

The MULTITEST Indicator uses X4 quadrature logic for

maximum resolution with any bi-directional incremental rotary

encoder. Encoder output is mathematically converted and

displays in degrees (°) of rotation, regardless of encoder count.

Example:

— A 90 count encoder measures 90 X 4 = 360

increments, (whole degrees).

— A 360 count encoder measures 360 X 4 = 1440

increments, (1/4 degrees), etc. Clockwise (CW)

rotation is signified by (+) and counterclockwise

(CCW) rotation is signified by (-).

Setting Up Angle Encoders

1. Press CAL.

— LED display reads the following with the least

significant digit (LSD) flashing:

CODE0000

2. Using up and down VALUE and left and right DIGIT,

program the hexadecimal code "000E" into the display.

3. Press ENTER.

— LED display reads:

SELECT

— LCD display reads:

Encoder: Measure Resolut

To determine the resolution of an unknown encoder:

A. Press ENTER.

— The LED display reads:

COUNTING

— The LCD display reads:

Count[0]= 000000 - upper line

Count[1]= 000000 - lower line
