When to use this block?

Use this block to read encoder output.

How does this block work?

The encoder read function uses built-in STM32F4 timer to interpret encoder data.

Available pins for encoder channel A and B depends on selected MCU (via Target Setup Block) and Timer.

The encoder position count always count up:

From 0 to (PPR x 4)-1 when channel A and B are used.
From 0 to (PPR x 2)-1 when only a single channel (either A or B) is used.

If Reset counter after every counter read is checked, the counter is reset to zero after the count is read.
