5.1
Setting of specific parameters
The parameter values in the Parameters block are active in the encoder at any time. If a value is changed
with the pull-down menu this parameter is loaded onto the encoder simultaneously.
5.1.1
Number of pulses
The number of pulses per rotation can be chosen with the pull-down menu.
5.1.2
Direction of rotation
The pull-down menu Direction of rotation defines the chronological order of the A and B signals. As a default
channel A precedes channel B by a ¼ period if the encoder turns counterclockwise (looking onto the shaft).
5.1.3
Zero pulse readout
The zero pulse readout can be set by using the pull-down menu according to the figure 11 below.
Channel A
Channel B
A & B HIGH
A & B LOW

Reset the factory settings
The default factory settings can be reinstalled by clicking on Load factory settings.
5.3
Connect new encoder
Encoders can be exchanged while the adapter is running. Please note that the recognition of a new encoder
might last up to 10 seconds. If an encoder is not identified correctly all values are invisible and the red
indicator Communication lights up on the left side of the button Factory settings.
