Chapter 6 System Setup
Encoder setup program
The Encoder Setup Program is used to define and calibrate the system encoders.
The program must be run prior to attempting to configure other QC5000
setup parameters.
NOTE
Analog encoders must be configured and then calibrated. TTl
encoders only need to be configured.
Configuring analog and TTL encoders
Each system axis can be configured independently to accept input counts from
an analog encoder or a TTL encoder. Analog encoders require calibration, TTL
encoders do not. To configure an analog or a TTL axis encoder:
1 Shut down the QC5000 if necessary.
2 Double-click the encoder setup icon to launch the Encoder
program. The Custom Encoder Setup screen will be displayed.
3 Click an Axis radio button to select the
desired axis, then click an Axis Scale Type
radio button to select the desired encoder
(scale) type.
