Motor Temperature Sensor
For LDAT-Series linear thrusters, LDL-Series™ and LDC-Series™ linear motors
and MPAS-Series linear stages, do the following.
1. Run MotionView software.
2. Click General Category.
3. Set Motor Temperature Sensor to Enable.
Understanding Encoder Resolution Setting
Figure 76 shows the relationship of Resolution (x1) and Resolution (x4).
Figure 76 - Relationship between Resolution (1x) and Resolution (4x)
Here is a simple example.
EXAMPLE
If Resolution (x1) = 4 μm, then Resolution (x4) = 1 μm
