So I've got power supply going to the +wire of the encoder from terminal 4(Quad510)
-From the encoder to terminal 19
Checking the voltage with multimeter terminal 4 to 19 or COM shows 4.99VDC
But through the encoder gives about 3.5VDC
I'm not getting any count on Index0 with the way I have it setup(Range is 0 to 65535. LSB reset on index)
I'm not sure if I have the wiring set up properly.
Not sure if I have the Quad510 settings configured properly.
Thank you for your help!

Hello
I hope you having a great day.
Unfortunately, we don't support Fieldpoint anymore so we don't have too many resources to help you in this case.
I apologize for any inconvenience that this can cause to you.

According to the manual, pin 20 is COM for the 5V, not pin 19.

I put it on 20. But it's still not reading what I want it to read. Maybe I just don't understand how this thing works.
Does the Count function actually count from 0 to 65535 or is that just a way to measure the angle of the rotor?

Please doublecheck the manual on page 5 and 6. Do you have it in the same way?

Yes, right now I have it plugged into 1-17-20. For Axis 0(I'm not really sure what the Axis refers to)
