Hey nokkok,
Newer boards such as our m-series can be configured for position and angle measurement tasks for use with encoders thanks to the TIO chipset. The 6062E is a member of our E-series, which is slightly older and uses the STC1 chip, which does not directly support position measurements. However, you can do a position measurement by using the up.down pin. In order to use the phase difference of quadrature encoders to cound up or down as determined by the encoder's direction you'll need to set the count direction to be externally controlled and connec tthe phase B of the quadrature encoder to DIO6 (for counter 0) or DIO7 (for counter 1).
This is basically just edge counting in conjunction with an up / down pin. Basically, the STC relies upon the user to determine direction in code.
Let me know if you have any questions.
