# Direction

Defines the forward direction of the quadrature encoder. The vision system uses the Direction to determine the correct operating direction.

The following options are available:

- Positive (default): Positive direction indicates a part moving from right to left, from the perspective of the vision system.

- Negative

Reversing the direction during image acquisition Acquisition is the process or result of the vision system acquiring a new image. stops the acquisition. You can continue the acquisition when the vision system reaches the saturation boundary by advancing forward back to the original position.
