Referencing the XI613101 not triggering

Customer is attempting to reference their TTL encoder input on the XI613101 using the Process Data bits. They have set the reference mode to Process Data mode with 16#8000:12 = 2, but when they trigger the bit the axis doesn't reference. Any advice for additional things to check?

Issue was resolved, the customers TTL encoder didn't have a Z pulse wired, and the XI613101 has wire break detection enabled by default for all channels. While the wire break is detected, referencing the encoder is prevented.

To disable Z-pulse wire break detection, we added the parameter 16#8000:0C = 1 to the Startup parameters, and this resolved the issue.
