4. Description of the PWM 8 MODE

4.1 Switching the PWM 8 MODE

After the power-on message, the standard soft-key row is displayed, from which the MODE soft-key row of
PWM 8 can be called:
The following PWM 8 modes can be selected from the MODE soft-key row:
For each PWM 8 MODE the following auxiliary displays are active:
(Description see section 2.7: Explanation of the display)
• Display of the reference signal
• Encoder monitor with memory function
• Display of the counting direction
• PHA/TV display
• Assignment of the BNC sockets
After power interruption the last active mode is loaded again.

4.2 PWM 8 MODE: UNIVERSAL COUNTER with Frequency Display

The UNIVERSAL COUNTER counts the triggered edges of the incremental signals 1 and 2 of the encoder.
Note:
The function of the UNIVERSAL COUNTER is defined by the counter parameters P5 to P7. The
UNIVERSAL COUNTER can be loaded with a preset. See section 5: EXPERT MODE, parameters and
PRESET editor.
