I am looking into a design where I would like to use a single=20 incremental encoder for two separate controls. In order for me to=20 accomplish this I need to understand what the outputs (A & B) are held=20 to when there is no rotation. Are the outputs held OFF (aka open), ON=20 or one of each based on the last rotation? What happens when the user=20 rotates the knob very slowly? Is the pulse a fixed width or is it base=20 on shaft rotational speed? What is the state of the outputs if the=20 rotation is halted between detents? Is the nominal output state=20 manufacture dependent or is there a "standard". Thanks for any guidance you can provide. -Phil- --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
