What determines the amount of shaft rotation for of each step?
Indexer LPT generates pulses in response to commands designed to effect motion. (For example, the Indexer LPT command “move:a,200” generates 200 pulses from pin 2 on the printer port associated with the axis entitled “a”.) Each pulse corresponds to an angular displacement of the step motor shaft called a “step”. The motor shaft rotation corresponding to each pulse is determined by the internal geometry of the motor that is chosen and the translator that is used.
