   * The encoder resolution is hard-coded to be 65536.
-    * This is different from encoder setup in the Settings > Config > Hardware > Encoders section. In here, it is the number of lines/markings on the MPG wheel for one full rotation that must be specified, as opposed to the number of pulses. Therefore, you would put ''100'' if your MPG wheel had 100 lines in this section:
+The diagram below shows an example of an MPG wheel connection to the ET10 controller (in this example, the MPG wheel in connected to the encoder input #5):

-As already mentioned, axis control can be set up directly from the //MPG through binary inputs// settings window. In order to set up this encoder to change some values within the software (such as jog overspeed, motion overspeed, etc), the user can go into Settings > Config > Inputs/Outputs/Sensors > Connections, and add a new connection or edit an existing one.

   * In the **Source** field, select Encoder.
   * For the **parameter**, type in some parameter 100-112 for fast encoders (0-16 is reserved for slow encoders). In order to check which particular encoder is used, the user can go into Settings > Config > Hardware > Encoders and note which encoder value changes as the MPG wheel is being turned. For example, for fast encoder #5, parameter 105 will be chosen.
