-As already mentioned, axis control can be set up directly from the //MPG through binary inputs// settings window. In order to set up this encoder to change some values within the software (such as jog overspeed, motion overspeed, etc), the user can go into Settings > Config > Inputs/Outputs/Sensors > Connections, and add a new connection or edit an existing one.

   * In the **Source** field, select Encoder.
   * For the **parameter**, type in some parameter 100-112 for fast encoders (0-16 is reserved for slow encoders). In order to check which particular encoder is used, the user can go into Settings > Config > Hardware > Encoders and note which encoder value changes as the MPG wheel is being turned. For example, for fast encoder #5, parameter 105 will be chosen.
