4.7 "Set position" mask
With this function the cam encoder is assigned a position value
("Preset value").
In the simplest case, the encoder could be set to "0000" in this way to calibrate the mechanical
zero position of the shaft with the display "0000". However, any other position value within the
set encoder resolution can also be transferred here.
To check this, the current position shown continually updated at the top of the window. After
the preset value is transferred with the "Assign position" button, this appears as the current
position at the top of the window.
Example: The encoder resolution has been set to 360 steps/revolution.
The permissible value range for the "Set position" function is 0 - 359 in this case.
Please observe the following note on dependence of the counting direction in the
"Set position" function.
