Encoder

Double-click on the Encoder object, labelled Encoder Input, in order to run the example: [[Image:{{{1}}}_Encoder_Example.jpg|center|link=]]


General information about the selected object will be displayed at the top of the window. You can also experiment with the following functionality:

  • Toggle the Enabled checkbox to enable/disable the {{{1}}}.
  • Specify a counts per revolution (CPR) value to enable velocity calculation.
  • Encoder data is described:
    • Position Change: the number of ticks (or quadrature cycles) that have occurred since the last change event.
    • Time Change: the amount of time in milliseconds that has elapsed since the last change event.
    • Position: the total position in ticks relative to where the encoder was when the window was opened.
    • Index Position: the position where the index channel was last encountered. Some encoders do not support index, check your encoder's datasheet for more information.
    • Velocity: the average velocity in rotations per second. A CPR must be specified to enable this functionality.
