18.1.5 Possibilities with the integrated oscilloscope
The integrated oscilloscope is used to record the incremental signals (A, B or I1, I2) of position
encoders.
Activation and operation --> See “Integrated Oscilloscope” on page 10 – 99.
Example for an oscilloscope recording of position encoder signals:
8 Define the following settings (depending on the NC software version, either position: A and
position: B or position: I1 and position: I2 is offered):
8 Move the X-axis at very low speed in the manual mode.
8 Start the oscilloscope recording.
8 Stop recording.
8 Adapt the signals under consideration of the zero line.
8 Adapt the time axis for a more detailed representation.
Reference signals and EnDat signals cannot be displayed!
A phase angle measuring unit should be used for an accurate tracing of the signals
(e.g., PWM 9)!
