During the following explanations, the red flag (

between the PDI 5025 original behavior and the new emulation one.
4-2 CONFIGURATION
Before using the FDI 2056 in its PDI 5025 emulation mode, some parameters
must be set according to the user
’s specific hardware interface and bi-phase
encoder.
All parameters are located in the FDI 2056 operating system registry. On 32-bit
systems, the root key is:
HKLM\Software\Metrolab\FDI2056\PDI5025EmulationParameters
And on 64-bit systems, the root key is:
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Metrolab\FDI2056\PDI5025EmulationParameters
(This is because the PDI 5025 emulator application has been targeted for 32-bit
systems.)
The following tables describe all parameters, their usage, and specify the various
values or numerical ranges. All keys described are relative to the root key as
previously specified. All values are capital-insensitive.
