Encoder Spacing

Question

How is encoder spacing defined?

Answer

Encoder spacing is set by the user and represents the distance between two profiles when using an encoder as trigger input.

Encoder spacing defines the displacement in millimeters. In combination with the entered encoder resolution, the system calculates how many encoder pulses are needed before the sensor is triggered for the next measurement.

The smallest possible encoder spacing is the same as your encoder resolution.

If encoder spacing is not an exact multiple of the encoder resolution, the Gocator will trigger at the closest encoder count.
