MC Workbench encoder pulses: quadrature cycles or line counts?

[AaronP]

Hi,

I am working on a project with an STSPIN32G4 motor controller and using MCSDK 6.2.1. The motor I am working with has a quadrature encoder with 1024 cycles per rotation. It's not clear to me in MC Workbench whether I should enter in this value, or multiply by 2 or 4, to get "pulses per mechanical revolution."

Thanks,

Aaron

Hello @AaronP ,

Please have a look to Documentation through Workbench>About>Documentations>Documentation, User manual tab, "Quadrature Encoder sensor feedback processing" chapter. 
Counter is incremented by 4 at each pulse, then ARR Auto Reload Register has to be set at ((4*NBR Pulse) -1)
