Encoders screen
The Encoders screen contains data and choice fields
for specifying encoder resolution, units of measure,
encoder type, reference marks and other critical en-
coder parameters for each measurement axis.
Selecting an axis to configure
Selections are made by repeatedly touching the Axis
choice field to cycle through all the available mea-
surement axes.
In this example, the measurement axis choices (X, Y and Z) are cycled by repeatedly touching the Axis
choice field.
Specifying encoder resolution
Encoder resolution is entered into the Resolution data field using the numeric keys on the front panel.
Specifying encoder type
Encoder type is toggled between TTL and Analog by touching the
Type choice field.
TTL encoders do not require calibration. However, analog encoders
must be calibrated and when the analog encoder type
is selected, tools are automatically displayed for ana-
log encoder calibration.
