OK, so I've done the change, but now I get:

parameter or pin encoder.3.position-scale not found

you need to define the position scale and add it to your ini file

You only have one encoder, encoder.0. That is because you had "loadrt encoder" which defaults to a single channel. 
So you will not have any HAL pins including encoder.3

How many encoders do you need?

Andy, I've got lost in my own threads. This is the project (Boxford) were you recommended a sensor from RS and I wired it to one input pin ( '10' on my 2nd LPT ) . We then combined the two signals (A & Z) to this pin.
If I remember correctly I think you guided me to some script were I could past it into my .HAL

Can you attach your current HAL?
