Parameter Type Description Visibility Access
EncoderResolution float Defines the resolution of one encoder tick in the used
coordinate system.
Values 0-10000 mm.
Beginner RW
EncoderMode enum Defines the encoder mode.
Values:
FourPhase: standard encoder mode where the
EncoderValue increments on each full four phase
sequence which supresses jitter.
HighResolution: increments or decrements the
EncoderValue every quadrature phase for high reso‐
lution counting, but without jitter filtering.
SingleChannel: a special encoder mode where
only the A channel is used.
Expert RW
EncoderDivider int Sets how many encoder increment/decrements that
are needed to generate an encoder output pulse signal.
