I'm talking to software that tracks through an incremental shaft encoder. I'm actually trying to trick the software into seeing one round of the encoder wheel as 1 'click'. The machine originally is set up to use 'a' and '-a' signals from the encoder. I figured if I use 'z' and '-z', then the machine will think each revolution is a single click. But I don't register anything when I wire it up that way. It acts as though it's not getting any signal at all.
Does anyone know if there is electronically a difference between 'a' signals and 'z' signals?
Any information would be appreciated.
Here's the encoder I'm using:
