8.5.2.2.5 MeterGo-Function
The Meter Go function is a special function for printing length specifications on cables, pipes
etc. The function results from several parameter settings.
With these settings one can ensure that the meter counter carries on counting even if there
are no printouts. The counter works independent from the printout as long as there are encoder
signals.
External encoder signals are required for the position and speed measuring. In addition there
should be an external PrintGo signal provided in exactly the same distance as the required
printout of the length specifications (e.g. after each meter).
It is not recommended to use the Meter-Go function with the internal PrintGo signal!
To use the internal PrintGo signal you would have to specify the cable speed. Even the
smallest deviation would sum up with each printout and this would lead to a significant
deviation between the printed length specifications and the current length of the cable.
