3.2 Connect Encoder<br />
Connect the encoder to the test unit with an adapter cable.<br />
Note<br />
Adapter cables: see chapter “Overview of Cables and Adapters" on page 113.<br />
In the ATS main menu double-click "Connect encoder".<br />
The "Encoder selection" window offers two possibilities of powering the encoder and setting<br />
the encoder interface:<br />
1 Automatic encoder identification by entering the ID of the encoder.<br />
2 Use manual identification only, if the ATS database does not detect the encoder<br />
(EnDat interface only) or if the ID label on the encoder is missing or illegible.<br />
Note<br />
<strong>HEIDENHAIN</strong> recommends automatic identification.<br />
The relevant encoder data is read from a database. This database is part of the<br />
ATS software.<br />
The encoder database contains all ID numbers and variants of the absolute linear<br />
encoders that existed when the ATS software was released.<br />
It is updated about every 6 months; shorter intervals are sought for.<br />
You will find the most recent data at www.<strong>heidenhain</strong>.de.<br />
