The Engineering Unit Setup Screen enables the user to enter pre-determined
motions (engineering units) into the controller to be able to retrieve data in
the units of measure related to the particular application.
To enter the engineering units for a program:
1.
Select the desired Axis.
2.
Enter name in the parameter (position, pos. error, speed,
torque).
3.
Enter the engineering unit factor (counts, counts/s., volts).
4.
Select Set Units.
Click on Reset axis to encoder counts to restore to default values and
continue monitoring with the default (1) engineering units.
