The Wizard Axes Scale Parameters window allows you to setup
a scaling factor for later use when controlling the MintDrive.
Select Counts per revolution in the Scale to box.
This means that references to movement can be expressed in
revolutions, rather than encoder counts.
Note: Mint defines all positional and speed related motion
keywords in terms of encoder quadrature counts (for
servo motors) or steps for stepper motors. The scale
factor allows the system to be scaled to your own units
(called user units) to suit your application.
With a resolver or 1024 line encoder, a scale factor of
4096 gives a user unit of revolutions.
Note: Even though you may have a MintDrive with the resolver
option fitted, the input from the resolver is converted into
simulated encoder counts inside the MintDrive.
