	The DCC1000 can connect to any of the encoders we sell without any modification just by setting the ''EncoderIOMode'' property to ''Push-Pull'' . If you're trying to use your own encoder, you may need to change the IO mode to ''Open Collector'' or ''Line Driver'' mode. Have a look at the [[~~Encoder_Primer~~#Output_Circuit\|Encoder ~~Primer~~]] for more details on what to use.

	Next, you need your encoder interface's resolution. The encoder port on the DCC1000 has a x4 resolution, meaning it reads in 4 pulses per quadrature cycle (see the [[~~Encoder_Primer~~#Quadrature_Encoding\|Encoder ~~Primer~~]] for a more in-depth explanation).
