Parameter Settings – F 20
F 20 allows you to setup encoder parameters and axis display resolutions. There are
two types of resolution:
Encoder Resolution the resolution of the measurement, an encoder parameter.
Display Resolution the resolution of presented values in the display.
You can vary the resolution of the dimensions in the linear axis displays for both INCH
and MM mode. The display resolution can be set individually for each axis.
F 20 allows you to enter the specific encoder properties that are used for feedback.
These can be set up individually for each axis. Your DRO supports the following types
of encoders:
Metric Linear Encoders (encoders with grating pitch measured in microns, µm)
Inch-Based Linear Encoders (encoders with grating pitch measured in inches)
All modern linear encoders are metric.
To set up encoder and axis display parameters:
1. Press
to select the feature.
2. Press the desired axis key(s) to select the axis.
NOTE: You can select one or more axes to be set up simultaneously as long as they
use the same encoders and the same display format. You must repeat the
F 20 feature and select the appropriate axis (axes) for each type of encoder
set up.
The DRO displays one of the following in the selected axis display(s):
