between the Target Position and the outgoing steps.
Each scale is defined as a ratio of two numbers. The user can enter both numbers in each of the
ratios, although one number is shared by both ratios. Here is the definition of the two scales:
The three values the user can enter are Steps/Rev, Pos Units/Rev, and Quad Cnts/Rev. These
are parameters for each stepper axis. You will notice that both scales use Pos Uints/Rev.
The RMC allows the user to select the direction of both the stepper and quadrature counts with
respect to position units. That is, phase A leading phase B in the quadrature can mean increasing
or decreasing actual positions. Similarly, a low direction line can be the result of increasing or
decreasing target positions.
The sign of the Quad Counts/Rev parameter controls the quadrature direction per the following
chart:

The actual position increases when…

…phase A leads phase B
- …phase B leads phase A
The Reverse Drive bit of the Configuration Word controls the use of the direction output to the
stepper motor per the following chart:

These scales are used to determine the change in steps from the change in target position and to
determine the change in actual position from the change in quadrature counts according to the
following formulas:
Note: The RMC ensures that no fractional position units or steps are lost in these conversions.
That is, even though the result of this equation will likely not be a whole number, the remainder
is carried from scan to scan.
Note: If quadrature feedback is not used, enter a 0 in QUAD CNTS/REV. This eliminates the
