Inputs A and B in Unidirectional mode
In the two Unidirectional modes, the count is incremented or decremented by input A,
whilst the direction is dependent on input B.
In Unidirectional High mode, both inputs are high speed inputs, suitable only for
electronic signal sources, eg. transistors, proximity switches, encoders.
In Unidirectional Low mode, both inputs are low speed inputs (30Hz max), suitable
for contact closure sources, eg. microswitches, relays, pushbuttons. Any contact
noise is removed by filtering. They can also be used for electronic signal sources.
Inputs A and B in Quadrature mode
In Quadrature mode, the count is incremented or decremented depending on the phase
difference between input A and input B.
In this mode, both inputs are high speed inputs, suitable only for electronic signal
sources, eg. transistors, proximity switches, encoders.
Input K (Keyboard Inhibit) and Input R (Reset)
Both inputs are low speed inputs as described above.
