When Auto-Elongation Mode is enabled, and the I/O Module is measuring
elongation, the Length parallel output is replaced with Elongation. Since the last
slave in a chain of I/O Modules does not measure elongation, it always outputs
length. See the Elongation/Synchronization section for more information. When
the Auto-Elongation Mode is disabled, the Length/Elongation port will always
output length.
Example: To enable Auto-Elongation Mode, send the command
~I:Elongation=1<CR>. To disable Auto-Elongation Mode, send the command
~I:Elongation=0<CR>.
~I:ElongRes Parallel Port Elongation Resolution
~I:ElongRes<CR> Read Setting
Response Format:
ParallelPort ElongRes <N><CR>
~I:ElongRes=<N><CR> Set Value
Factory Default: 1 Minimum: 0.001 Maximum: 1
Where <N> indicates the Elongation resolution multiplier.
Value
Elongation Multiplier
1
Elongation x 1
0.1
Elongation x 0.1
0.01
Elongation x 0.01
0.001
Elongation x 0.001
This command allows to user to reduce the output resolution of the elongation
measurement by scaling the measurement result.
Example: To reduce the elongation resolution by a factor of 10x
~I:ElongRes=0.1<CR>.
