analyze an incremental encoder

Post by lansbury »

Hello,

I have a Picoscope 3406D MSO and I would like to use it to analyze an incremental encoder from a motor. I would like to add a math channel that increments a counter on each rising edge and resets it with the Z-pulse from the encoder. This way, I want to determine the exact angular position of the motor. Is this possible with the Picoscope? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a suitable function.

Thank you very much.

Have you tried using the Quadrature Serial Decoder?
