Encoder
Double-click on the Encoder object, labelled {{{2}}}, 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:
- Specify a counts per revolution (CPR) value to enable velocity calculation.
- The Position Change label indicates the number of ticks (or quadrature cycles) that have occurred since the last change event.
- The Time Change label indicates the amount of time in milliseconds that has elapsed since the last change event.
- The Position label indicates the total position in ticks relative to where the encoder was when the window was opened.
- The Index Position indicates the position where the index channel was last encountered. Some encoders do not support index, check your encoder's datasheet for more information.
- The Velocity indicates the average velocity in rotations per second. A CPR must be specified to enable this functionality.
