Additional Details:

The HEDR-8100#2P4 encoder utilizes an LED light source and integrated photodetectors to generate incremental quadrature signals. The quadrature signals can be used to determine both position and direction of motion. The index signal provides a once-per-revolution pulse for absolute position referencing. Specific resolution depends on the code wheel or strip used with the encoder.

The encoder is typically used with a code wheel or strip to generate the quadrature signals. The code wheel/strip selection will determine the resolution of the encoder. The user must consider the required resolution and accuracy of the system when selecting the code wheel/strip.
