2.12 Absolute Multiturn Encoder
MacTalk visualize the encoder position in real time and makes the resetting far less com-
plicated by displaying the actual encoder position and the free number of revolutions be-
fore reaching the wrap-around point of the encoder position.
When the motor position is within -15.000.000 to 15.000.000 the encoder position bar
is coloured green indicating a safe position for doing a position reset.
Outside this range the bar is coloured red indicating a range that is not recommended
for position resetting the encoder position since it leaves a minor free working range.
The free working range is displayed under the bar as positive and negative motor revo-
lutions available before wrap-around.
Of cause resetting outside the recommended range is possible but care must be taken.
Trying to reset the motor position in the red area results in a warning dialog that appears
in MacTalk.
