Hey all, 

Another dumb question. I am using the latest Drive Manager 2 (1.1.42).A Biss-C linear encoder that I need for a feedback device is not in the available "Feedback" device list. 

The encoder is a Renishaw LA11-DC-A-07B-K-A-02M-A-00; most of the other encoder part numbers in this Renishaw encoder family are in Drive Manager 2, except this one. 

I have downloaded and installed ESI files for other devices (like Keyence Cameras, SMC Valve Couplers), but I have never had to install anything that is accessible by Drive Manager. Also, I can't seem to find any device description file downloads on Renishaw's website. 

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thank you.

 I think I would just add one which is similar and change the parameters which are different in the drive manager.

Or you maybe you can add your sensor to the xml files here

❯ ls
