Ctrl Command simulate_encoder
Function Activates or deactivates encoder simulation for the specified encoder.
Call simulate_encoder( EncoderNo )
Parameters EncoderNo Encoder number as an unsigned 32-bit value.
Allowed values:
= 1: ENCODER X pulses are simulated and encoder counter
“Encoder0” thereby incremented.
= 2: ENCODER Y pulses are simulated and encoder counter
“Encoder1” thereby incremented.
= 3: Pulses for ENCODER X and ENCODER Y are simulated.
= 0: The encoder simulation is deactivated.
Comments • The encoder simulation is driven by an internal 1 MHz clock (see also Section ”Encoder
Simulation”, page 299).
• simulate_encoder does not trigger a reset of the encoder counter.
• If EncoderNo > 3, then simulate_encoder is ignored (get_last_error return code
RTC6_PARAM_ERROR ).
