Calculating the Scaling Factor

Data given:

		motor with 1024 measurement steps per revolution
		transmission with a reduction gear ratio of 23 to 7
		toothed belt drive with 160 mm per revolution

The exact distance of 100 mm is to be traversed.
How many measurement steps does that amount to?

every time

enter:

100 mm
0.625 revolutions of the drive pinion
2.053571429 revolutions of motor
2102.85714286 measurement steps
2103 rounded measurement steps

Every time you enter a value, it has to be converted.
Every time, values have to be converted into measuring units.

Direct reading of positions is nearly impossible.

No conversion is necessary when entering the value.

Values can be read directly in the units of measurement used.
