    Note the Nominal air gap for each encoder ring. If the ring is significantly closer, the following pattern will appear in the calibration results: regular high frequency oscillations with a high amplitude. © 2021 Synapticon GmbH | Daimlerstraße 26 | D-71101 Schönaich Documentation v 4.20.15 | Built 2022-08-17 81/88...
  • Page 82: The Magnetic Ring Is Too Far From The Encoder Chip

    Note the Nominal air gap for each encoder ring. If the ring is further away than specified, the following pattern will appear in the calibration results: irregular high oscillations and isolated points (outliers) due to high noise. © 2021 Synapticon GmbH | Daimlerstraße 26 | D-71101 Schönaich Documentation v 4.20.15 | Built 2022-08-17 82/88...
