Incremental rotary encoder resolution equals the number of measuring units in one revolution of the shaft, and is measured in PPR (pulses per revolution). Because incremental rotary encoders have A/B outputs, resolution is 4 times the PPR: accounting for 2 edges each on the A channel and B channel. High-resolution...

A standard edge sensing scheme for optical rotary encoders is to square up the raw analog sine wave by comparing it against a given voltage. If your analog signal has a 2Vpp amplitude, the value at which you switch off of, creating the edges of your square waves, could be...

. In Optical Encoders, the item most affected by temperature is the output of the Light source. In most cases this is an LED. Below is a graph of the relative light output of the light source measured as photocell current on an optical encoder over temperature. You can see...
