Value  Description 
0 
Step & Direction mode. 
1 
Separate up & down counters. 
2 
Quadrature encoder input. 
3 
PWM input commands absolute position. 
10-11 
Reserved for future use. 
12  Pulses are counted on their falling edge if this bit is clear, rising edge if set. This bit has no 
effect when the inputs are configured as encoder inputs. 
13 
Causes the direction of the input to be reversed. Works for all three modes.. 
14-15  Identify which input pins to use.

0 
Single ended high speed inputs. 
1 
Multi-mode encoder port. 
2 
Differential high speed inputs. 
3 
Use primary encoder inputs.

INT32 
Digital Command Input Scaling Factor. This value gives the amount of current to 
command at 100% PWM input. The scaling depends on what the PWM input is 
driving: 
Current mode: 0.01 A 
Velocity (Accelus): 0.1 counts/s 
In position mode the scaling factor is a ratio of two 16-bit values. The first word 
passed gives the numerator and the second word gives the denominator. This ratio 
determines the number of encoder units moved for each pulse (or encoder count) 
input. 
For example, a ratio of 1/3 would cause the motor to move 1 encoder unit for every 
three input steps.

U16 
Raw Input State. The 16-bit value returned by this command gives the current state 
(high/low) of the drive’s input pins. Unlike Input Pin States (0xA6), no debounce is 
applied when reading the inputs using this variable. 
The bits are mapped in the same order as Input Pin States (0xA6).
