7.4.4.1 „Direct mode“ / „Quadrature mode“
There are basically two counting modes:
„Direct mode“
„Quadrature mode“
„Direct mode“
In “direct mode”, only the edges of the A signal are counted. The following options are
possible: the rising edge, the falling edge or both edges may be counted. The B signal
may be used as enable signal, see chapter 7.4.4.2.
„Quadrature mode“
In “quadrature mode”, all 4 edges or quadrants of the A and B signal are counted. The
following scheme shows the internal period calculation.

D= „direct mode“; Q=“quadrature mode“

„○“ = optional; „●“ = preset; „▬“ = not active
