| Question: Can you put an encoder on the DL06? |
| Answer: Yes. This is explained in Appendix E of the DL06 User Manual Your DL06 must have DC inputs for this function. |
| FAQ ID: 1001 |
| Question: Can the DL06 series support 2 up counters in one of the high speed modes? |
| Answer: Yes, in mode 10 can support 2 single ended up counters, up to 5 KHz. For any application that requires more counters or faster counting rate, use the H0-CTRIO2 |

| Question: Can I configure a DL06 to do high speed counting and generate high speed pulse output? |
| Answer: a. You can do High Speed Inputs or High Speed outputs, but not both. b. Mode 10 allows you to configure two high speed counters, up to 7 KHz. c. Mode 20 allows you to configure a quadrature counter, which allows counting in clockwise and counter clockwise directions (or count up or down), up to 7 KHz. d. Mode 30 allows you to do high speed pulse outputs up to 10 KHz. It supports three profiles: trapezoidal, registration and velocity. e. Click here for Appendix E of DL06 User Manual. |

| Question: How can I make the CTRIO2 output wave form more stable? |
| Answer: Due to the 10x higher speeds of CTRIO2 modules, the waveform isn't as forgiving as a CTRIO module was. It might be necessary to use the following circuit if you notice differences between a CTRIO and CTRIO2 module being used as a replacement. R: 10 to 50 ohms, C: 22nF (0.022uF) Connect the R & C in series, then connect that across the CTRIO2 outputs (preferably at the stepper's inputs instead of just right at the CTRIO2's outputs). |
