Encoder Setup
You must tell the readout something about the encoders. Select
ENCODER
SETUP
from the Installation Setup list and enter the encoder number (the
number is defined by the input connector number on the back panel of the
readout).

shown at the top of the form.
R
ESOLUTION
—first use the softkeys to
select between linear and angular
movement.
Linear—move the corresponding
machine axis in a positive direction
until the readout senses and displays
the resolution. You won’t have to
move more than two inches. For encoders without Position-Trac, enter the
resolution in microns (µm).
Angular—for an encoder used to measure angular position, enter the number
of counts per revolution.
D
IRECTION
—you can change the count direction with the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE
softkeys.
A
XIS
T
YPE
—select either longitudinal or crossfeed. A crossfeed axis will be able
to display position either as a diameter or as a radius. Just press the RAD
DIA
key to select which way you want to display it.
