Parameter Settings – F 20 (Continued)
NOTE: You can select one or more axes to set up simultaneously as long as they use
the same encoders and the same display format is desired. You must repeat
the F 20 feature and select the appropriate axis (axes) for each different type of
encoder setup.
The DRO displays the following in the message window:
The axis display indicates the encoder type (default Metric).
The available encoder types are:
q Metric Metric Linear Encoders
q Inch Inch-Based Linear Encoders
q Rot Rotary Encoders
3. Press

repeatedly to scroll through
the encoder type options.
4. Press to set the desired encoder
type option.
NOTE: Most linear encoders, and all modern ANILAM encoders are metric, i.e., they
have a grating pitch measured in microns (µm). Some older linear encoders (for
example, BT and JB type encoders) are inch-based, i.e., they have a grating
pitch measured in inches. Select rot if the encoder is a rotary encoder.
Go to the section for the selected type of encoder:
