I have a requirement to count the total number of pulses produced by an optical encoder connected to the T100MD-888+.
I have the A and B signals on Inputs 5 and 6 with HSC[2] and are using PMON 1 Input 3 to measure the frequency.
I have connected the A phase to both Input 3 and Input 4 thinking that I may be able to count the pulses through Input 4, measure the frequency through Input 3 ( PMON 1 ), but It does not work.
Is there a way of being able to count the total number of pulses created by the encoder? As it is now the variable will come back to zero when the encoder rotates in the reverse direct back to home base.
What I want to measure is the total round trip, i.e total pulses, both forward and reverse.
Any suggestions without having to disable the frequency measurement?
Your assistance is appreciated.
