Hello,

I'm using an AX3500 to do position feedback control, using an optical encoder. However, I've run into a problem.

The optical encoders, which give out 512 pulses per revolution, are on a motor; the motor drives a gear box with a 700:1 reduction ratio. In other words, I get 358,400 pulses per revolution, or 2,800 pulses per revolution with the maximum encoder divider, 128.

So, even if I command a position move by the maximum amount, 127, it still takes 22 such commands to rotate one revolution.

Is there anything in the software I could configure to set the encoder divider higher? If it could go up from divide-by-127 to, say, divide-by-4096 it would make my life a lot easier.

Thanks.
