my photo attachment of the red slide unit was rejected cause it was too big a file.
I have a new question though- is it possible that these encoders can be counted on both the rising and falling edge of both signals? in other words: if I count the falling edges on one wire as *640 falling edges per inch*, does this actually mean its *640 x 2* for rising and falling edges? then x2 again for two signal quadrature? or is the quadrature pair only to provide direction information? thanks! -pat On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 4:23 PM, Pat Lyons <p27...@gmail.com> wrote: > red.
