An output circuit for the reference pulse or symbol signal at the host controller can either be 
differential drive output or OC output. The following table lists the maximum input frequency 
and minimum pulse width of these output modes.

If the output pulse width of the host controller is smaller than the minimum value, the servo drive will 
receive wrong pulses.
