elements of the system, use the Gain Tuning Panel to tune the control loop settings
and determine the relative stability of the servo axis. Refer to the Using the Gain
Tuning Panel topic in the NI SoftMotion Module book of the LabVIEW Help for
detailed information about the Gain Tuning Panel and servo system tuning
instructions.
6. Open the Encoder page.
In the Active State section set the Line State for A, B, and Index to High.

Active.
Type revolution in the Units text box.
•
• Set the Counts per Unit to 8,000. This setting is the encoder resolution in
quadrature counts per revolution and must correspond to the AKD WorkBench
emulated encoder output Resolution setting in lines per revolution multiplied
by four. You may want to choose a different resolution depending on your
application needs. Changing this setting allows moves to be commanded in units
of revolutions per second.
You configure the emulated encoder output Resolution setting in
