Decode Control = Turbo PMAC I7mn0 parameter value. Default is 4.
Encoder Lines = The number of lines specified by the Encoder manufacturer used for the feedback.
Example: For standard 5mm-pitch ballscrew and 8192 lines encoders, the pulses per unit value is:
Pulses Per Unit = 4 cts/Line * 8192 lines/rev * rev/5mm *25.4 mm/inch = 166461.48 pulses per inch.
Where 4 cts /line is decode control I7mn0 variable of PMAC
Position Units
This allows defining the position unit of the machine in either inches or meters (inch/mm). This setting is
for the complete machine, not for individual motors.
The first time the program is started, this value defaults to English (Inch), and English (Inch) is checked
on the window. Select Metric (mm) and the program will start in Metric (mm) thereafter until switched
back to English.
Reset All
Click this button to set all definitions to 0 (zero). As zero indicates that the axis is not connected, this
function sets a new axis motor definition quickly.
Display Format
This allows defining the display format for different position units. This display format is used by
PMAC-NC Pro2 to display the axis position. The convention of the format is ##.###; (i.e. total number
of digits is five, with three of them after the decimal point).
Default format is 9.4 which mean total width is nine digits with four digits after the decimal point.
