CHA Amplitude

minimum

Outputs the minimum observed

amplitude of the optical signal.

Generally this signal is less than 15

counts because the optical signal

should swing from 0 to 640counts. (0V

to 2V).

Of course the encoder must be

turning otherwise the signal can be

anything from 0 to +640.

Outputs the maximum observed

amplitude of the optical signal.

Generally this is signal approximately

640 counts because the optical signal
