+NOTE: The ET7 controller has two encoder slot reserved for the ET7 keyboard panel. These are permanently assigned to inputs #16, 17, 18, and 19, and cannot be changed despite editing the Config window (the preset cannot be overridden). If encoder input slots are to be used on the ET7 board, the latter two slots (2 and 3) should be used. This preset is not present on the ET6/ET10/ET15 boards where encoder slots 0-3 can all be used.
 ===== Mpg/Encoder ET10 throught binary inputs =====
-If you use the ET10 controller [[https://shop.pv-automation.com/et10/9-mycnc-et10.html]], you can used not only MPG function, but also the encoders, to monitor the position of any of the axes.
+If you use the ET10 controller [[https://shop.pv-automation.com/et10/9-mycnc-et10.html]], you can utilize not only the MPG function, but also the dedicated encoder inputs, to monitor the current position of any of the machine axes. In this way, it is not necessary to specify two binary inputs but rather one specific encoder input.
