The first waveform of
significant bit (LSB), or bit 0, of a BCD or binary encoder. The LSB
changes with every change in encoder position (one increment of shaft
rotation). This bit has the highest input frequency of all encoder channels
because it changes state most often. Although the LSB on standard Gray
encoders does not toggle with each increment in shaft position, circuitry
on the module converts the Gray code to binary code to be used by the
module.
