Display step with linear encoders

You can select a specific display step by adapting the
following operating parameters:

• Signal period (P31)
• Counting mode (P33)
• Decimal places (P38)

Example
Linear encoder with a signal period of 10 µm

Desired display step ................. 0.000 5 mm
Signal period (P31) ................... 10
Counting mode (P33) ............... 5
Decimal places (P38) ................ 4

The following tables will help you select the appropriate
parameter settings.
