A number of encoder steps.

Input Format:

A signed integer number of encoder steps.

Operators:

-a

The unary minus operator changes the sign of its operand.

Use with do-loops:

When an EncoderCount variable is used as the dependent variable of a do-loop, the associated loop increment is specified as a Integer constant.

Context:

The positions of the azimuth, elevation and deck-angle encoders are counted in discrete steps. The limits and encoders commands use EncoderCount arguments to calibrate the limits, zero-point and precision of each encoder.
