8.5.3.2 Rotational direction of the encoder and directional changes

An encoder as StrokeGo source not only provides information about the speed and the
position but also about the rotational direction. With the settings for the
<Encoder/Direction> parameter it can be specified how this information shall be
processed.
 Rotational direction right: If this check box is activated, only signals from a
clockwise rotation of the encoder will be processed.
 Rotational direction left: If this check box is activated, only signals from a counter-
clockwise rotation of the encoder will be processed.
 Rotational direction both: If this check box is activated both rotational directions of
the encoder will be processed.
There are two options in order to define how directional changesshall be processed:
 Use encoder direction for mirror: with this option activated the printout will be
mirrored after a directional change. For technical reasons a backwardward printout
is mirrored. With this option activated the normally mirrored printout is mirrored a
second time. If this option is activated the <Lock backward> option will be greyed
out. Additionally this option cannot be activated if the encoder rotational direction is
set to <Clockwise> or <Counter Clockwise>.
 Lock backward: with this option activated the position of a directional change will
be saved. The printout will not start again until this position is reached again. The
printer measures the way of the backward movement and after another directional
change it will start the printout again as soon as the position of the first directional
change was reached. It is possible to activate this option when the rotational
direction is set to <both>, althoug this setting would make no sense.
