PTO (A, B phase-shifted): When you select the PTO signal type (A, B phase-shifted), the
two outputs pulses with the specified velocity, but phase-shifted by 90 degrees. This is a
1x combination in which the pulse shows the duration between two positive transitions of
A. In this case the direction is determined based on the output which first changes from 0
to 1. With positive direction, A preceeds B. With negative direction B preceeds A.
The number of generated pulses is based on the number of 0-to-1 transitions from phase
A. The phase ratio determines the direction of motion:
PTO (A, B phase-shifted)
Phase A precedes phase B (positive motion)
Phase A follows phase B (negative motion)

PTO (A, B phase-shifted - quadruple): When you select the PTO signal type (A, B phase-
shifted, quadruple), the two outputs transmit pulses with the specified velocity, but phase-
shifted by 90 degrees. The quadruple signal type is a 4x configuration in which each edge
transition corresponds to an increment. Therefore, a full period of the signal A contains
four increments. In this way two outputs, each with 100 kHz signal frequency, can be
used to output a control signal that supplies 400,000 increments per second. The
direction is determined based on the output which first changes from 0 to 1. With positive
direction, A preceeds B. With negative direction B preceeds A.
PTO (A, B phase-shifted - quadruple)
Phase A precedes phase B (positive motion)
Phase A follows phase B (negative motion)
