The letters don't tell you how many counts per revolution the encoder provides. That's in the numbers. The E4P encoders used on AndyMark gearboxes have a "250" in the part number that refers to the 1/4" shaft they go on, but they have another three-digit number that's the important one here. The KOP encoders have been 250 or 360 counts per revolution.

Find out what the full part numbers are and you'll probably see why one of them is reporting much smaller values.
