CE
FUNCTION:
Configure Encoder
DESCRIPTION:
The CE command configures the encoder to the quadrature type or the pulse and direction
type. It also allows inverting the polarity of the encoders. The configuration applies
independently to the four main axes encoders and the four auxiliary encoders.
ARGUMENTS:
CE x,y,z,w CEX=x CE a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h where
x,y,z,w are integers in the range of 0 to 15. Each integer is the sum of two integers n and m
which configure the main and the auxiliary encoders. The values of m and n are
M = MAIN ENCODER TYPE
N = AUXILIARY ENCODER TYPE
0
Normal quadrature
0
Normal quadrature
1
Normal pulse and direction
4
Normal pulse and direction
2
Reversed quadrature
8
Reversed quadrature
3
Reversed pulse and direction
12
Reversed pulse and direction
For example: x = 10 implies m = 2 and n = 8, both encoders are reversed quadrature.
"?" returns the value of the encoder configuration for the specified axes.

Note: When using pulse and direction encoders, the pulse signal is connected to CHA and the
direction signal is connected to CHB.
