Hello to all. We just tested some Heindenhain encoders and as happened with other encoders we can't sense the index pulse. We tried to detect it with a 20 nano seconds period on a digital scope but nothing happens. All the other pulses are working perfect except the index one.
I have to mention that this happened with other encoders too, but since we didn't need to use them with index pulse on the other machines we just let it that way and didn't worry about it. The trouble is we also tried to detect the index pulse on LinuxCNC but we never could. Is this because the pulse happens so quickly that we can't really scope it? Or are we missing something about how to measure it? We're worried because now we need to use the index pulse for homing our Mazak lathe that we're converting to LinuxCNC. Thanks as always for your help! -- *Leonardo Marsaglia*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
