To use this mode you’ll need a quadrature output device (usually an
encoder) that can generate two channel (quadrature A/B) signals in the 5-
24VDC range. Many users choose an optical or mechanical incremental
encoder for this task, but a microcontroller or digital signal generator will
work as well.
