Hi,
I have a project that requires an AEAT-6600-16 set to 16bit Resolution mode, by default these are 10bit, my electronics knowledge is poor at best; however, I have managed to steal enough code to read this encoder with both an Arduino and Pi at 10bit, but cannot find any reference material on how to program it.
I have wired the chip as per the application notes for programming with a 6.5v Power supply, and that is where my knowledge runs out, therefore I'm chasing some sample code on how I would program this chip with an Arduino preferably or (Raspberry Pi (Python) as I'm desperate)
I have attached a data sheet and application notes for reference.
Any help appreciated!

It may not contain any sample code, but you cannot say that you didn't find any reference material when you have attached the application note which tells you in pages 1-5 how to do the programming. It does seem to be missing data on maximum CLK frequency as well as timings for T1 and tD0, but you could err on the side of caution.
The risk with it is that you only have one chance to get it right; if you program the wrong settings for your application then the device is forever useless for that application.
Thanks arduarn,
Yes I perhaps could have worded that a little better sorry, the reference material I was seeking was more along the lines on how to structure some code to send bits to the appropriate addresses/Indexes, therefore if you have some sample code, or at how you would structure this that would be greatly appreciated.
This is a quite risky I guess, debugging cost me $10 a literal pop, not ideal..haha
Cheers,
