Selection of encoder type (Counter mode)

To ensure a correct acquisition of the counter value, you must first select the appropriate encoder type.

The connected encoder is selected via index 0x80n1:1D "Counter mode". Explanations of the supported encoder and signal types can be found in chapter "Supported Encoder / Signal Types"
