X1-X8: Encoder Feedback, HiperFace
!
Caution
The majority of HiperFace devices requires 7-12VDC power. This has
to be supplied externally and NOT wired into the brick unit. Pins#4
and #12 are unused in this case, leave floating.

This option allows the Brick to connect to up to eight HiperFace type feedback devices.
The HiperFace on-going position (sinusoidal data) is processed by the x 4096 interpolator. The encoder
conversion table is setup as a high resolution interpolator 3-line entry similarly to setting up a sinusoidal
encoder. The absolute power-on position (serial data) is computed directly from the raw HiperFace serial
data registers. Subsequently, a power-on phase referencing routine can be implemented.
