Just a quick question to make sure I understand how quadrature
encoders work.

On the encoder disk, we have channel A and B.

Now if I have an encoder with 2000 counts per revolution does this
mean that:

1) every rising and falling edge of channel A and B represents one
count of motion?

2) there are 500 cycles/rev and this number represents the limit of
the encoder as an external clock source since program AND/OR logic
cannot be used to combine edges (and therefore have a clock source
based on individual counts), unless an external decoder circuit is
built?

Thanks a lot

Chris
