PinOuts and Software Setup 85
Note
With absolute serial encoders (no multi-turn data), the power-on
position format is set up for unsigned operation.
Note
The upper two fields in Ixx95 are the only relevant ones. Bits 0
through 15 are reserved and should always be set to 0.
Note
Some serial encoders use an external (not from the Brick) source for
power. Make sure that this power is applied prior to performing an
absolute read on power-up.
