# What is the Pulse Encoder?

For external trigger modes, you can use an encoder to control the timing of the data string output. Typically encoders are installed on a conveyor belt and as the conveyor belt moves, the encoder shaft will rotate and output electrical pulses to indicate its angular rotation. The amount that the encoder rotates is directly proportional to the distance traveled by the conveyor belt.

Connect your encoder to Input lines 1, 2, or 3. The input line you choose will be exclusively used by the encoder. For any other action, please select another input line.

You can also connect an encoder to a Primary reader in a Multi-Reader Sync group.
