◆ encoderDivider

PropertyI64 encoderDivider

An integer property. Sets how many Encoder increments/decrements are needed to generate an Encoder output pulse signal.

Sets how many Encoder increments/decrements are needed to generate an Encoder output pulse signal.

◆ encoderMode

PropertyI64 encoderMode

An enumerated integer property. Selects if the count of encoder uses FourPhase mode with jitter filtering or the HighResolution mode without jitter filtering.

Selects if the count of encoder uses FourPhase mode with jitter filtering or the HighResolution mode without jitter filtering.

The following string values might be valid for this feature:

  • FourPhase (Display string: 'Four Phase'): The counter increments or decrements 1 for every full quadrature cycle with jitter filtering.
  • HighResolution (Display string: 'High Resolution'): The counter increments or decrements every quadrature phase for high resolution counting, but without jitter filtering.
Note
Depending on the device some of these values might not be supported and especially when working with third party devices there might be custom values which are not listed here. To get a complete and reliable list of supported values at runtime an application should therefore call mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyI::getTranslationDictStrings() or one of the other functions dealing with translation dictionaries for enumerated properties.

◆ encoderOutputMode

PropertyI64 encoderOutputMode

An enumerated integer property. Selects the conditions for the Encoder interface to generate a valid Encoder output signal.

The following string values might be valid for this feature:

  • Off (Display string: 'Off'): No output pulse are generated.
  • PositionUp (Display string: 'Position Up'): Output pulses are generated at all new positions in the positive direction. If the encoder reverses no output pulse are generated until it has again passed the position where the reversal started.
  • PositionDown (Display string: 'Position Down'): Output pulses are generated at all new positions in the negative direction. If the encoder reverses no output pulse are generated until it has again passed the position where the reversal started.
  • DirectionUp (Display string: 'Direction Up'): Output pulses are generated at all position increments in the positive direction while ignoring negative direction motion.
  • DirectionDown (Display string: 'Direction Down'): Output pulses are generated at all position increments in the negative direction while ignoring positive direction motion.

Note
Depending on the device some of these values might not be supported and especially when working with third party devices there might be custom values which are not listed here. To get a complete and reliable list of supported values at runtime an application should therefore call mvIMPACT::acquire::EnumPropertyI::getTranslationDictStrings() or one of the other functions dealing with translation dictionaries for enumerated properties.
