How do you reset the encoder count with LV?

[STK]

Hi,

How do you reset the encoder count on a servo motor without reseting the
position of the motor itself?
"Reset encoder count" VI doesn't work. Explanation, in the help files, is
that you can't reset an encoder that is mapped to an axis.. Don't want to
physically move the motor to zero out the encoder.

Using LV 7.0 and PCI-7344 motor controller.

Thanks in advance,

STK,

Yes "Rest Encoder Count" is for resetting a unmapped encoder. For an encoder that is mapped use "Reset Position" This will change the value of the encoder that is mapped to an axis.
