# Double Click on Phidget High Speed Encoder 1 encoder in the Phidget Control Panel to bring up the Encoder-full example and check that the box labelled Attached contains the word True. Please note that this is only an example program and is not intended to be used in applications. It is meant to show how the API calls can be used and can be a starting point for your own application.
# Rotate the encoder and the relative change will display positive when rotated clockwise and will display negative when rotated counter-clockwise.
# The example will display the time in microseconds that has elapsed since the last position change update received from the device.
# Encoder position will display the absolute position of the encoder since it was initially enabled. Position will increase when the encoder is rotated clockwise and decrease when rotated counter-clockwise.
# This feature is not supported.

==Technical Details==

The PhidgetEncoder HighSpeed can be used with a wide assortment of mechanical and optical encoders. The encoder should be of quadrature output type, indicating that there will be two output channels (usually labeled A and B). Specifically, the PhidgetEncoder HighSpeed reads a standard incremental non-differential TTL encoder.

The maximum rate of the 1057 PhidgetEncoder is specified at 500,000 cycles per second. In your application, this number relates directly to the number of revolutions per second you wish to measure, and the number of counts per revolution specified for your encoder. If your encoder's wheel has 1000 counts per revolution, then the limit on measurable revolutions per second is 500, or 30,000rpm (which, for the 1057, corresponds to 2000 position changes in software per second).

===Choosing Encoders===

Both mechanical and optical encoders are available, with optical encoders prevailing in quality at higher revolution speeds. Review the data sheet for the encoder that your are selecting carefully before purchasing it to ensure it is compatible with the PhidgetEncoder HighSpeed. Almost any incremental quadrature encoder will work but it is important to verify this before connecting it to the Phidget. Absolute encoders will not work with this device. Warning: The PhidgetEncoder HighSpeed incorporates a 1kiloOhm pull-up resistor on each line from the encoder
input connector. Some encoders will not be able to sink enough current to reliably signal to the 1057. They may work initially, or not at all.

We have reviewed the following encoders, and found that they can be used with the PhidgetEncoder HighSpeed.

This is not meant to be a comprehensive list but should be used as a comparison with other encoders.

==API==
{{UGapih}}

===Functions===
{{UGapi|int EncoderCount() [get] : Constant
|Returns the number of encoders supported by this PhidgetEncoder. The 1057 supports one optical encoder.
}}

{{UGapi|int Position(int EncoderIndex) [get,set]
|Returns/sets the position of an encoder. This is an absolute position as calcutated since the encoder was plugged in. Dividing position by the number of increments per revolution will give the number of rotations the encoder has travelled.

:Position can be set, typically used when an encoder has reached an identifiable (through external means, such as a limit switch) home position. This call does not send information to the device, as an absolute position is maintained only in the library. After this call, position changes from the encoder will use the new value to calculate absolute position.
}}

===Events===
{{UGapi|OnPositionChange(int EncoderIndex, int Time, int PositionChange) [event]
|An event that is issued whenever a change in encoder position occurs. This event returns the length of time that the change took (in milliseconds), and the amount of change (positive/negative encoder increments).
