# What settings can I make for the Pulse Encoder?

You can specify the distance to the output and map the pulse to the distance. The distance to output value is corrected based on the value of the resolution (it is adjusted to the closest multiple of resolution rounded to millimeters).

On the Output Delay tab, use the distance to output (mm) control to set the distance from trigger to when the result is output.

On the Pulse Encoder tab, use the resolution (mm) control to define the resolution.

Also on the Pulse Encoder tab, and after you enabled Encoder and Encoder Direction on the Inputs tab, Encoder Coding Type appears on the Pulse Encoder tab with the following settings:

- Clock/Direction:In this mode, the first encoder input is used as clock signal and the second line defines the direction in which the encoder counts.
- Up/Down:In this mode, Setup Tool counts upwards if a positive edge on the first line is detected and counts down if a positive edge on the second line is detected.
- Quadrature 1x:In this encoder mode, there are two input lines (Phase A and Phase B). 1 encoder tick is generated per full sequence.
- Quadrature 2x:In this encoder mode, there are two input lines (Phase A and Phase B). 2 encoder ticks are generated per full sequence.
- Quadrature 4x:In this encoder mode, there are two input lines (Phase A and Phase B). 4 encoder ticks are generated per full sequence.

If you enable Double Rate, your encoder will count both edges on the Input line. Note that the encoder duty cycle has to be 50%. If you disable Double Rate, the encoder will count only the selected edge.
