The Feedback n Cycle Resolution attribute determines the resolution capability of
the associated feedback device. Units for this attribute are determined by the
Feedback n Resolution Unit and the rotary or linear Feedback n Unit as shown in
the Semantics column. For rotary feedback devices, this value is expressed as the
number of Feedback Cycles per Revolution of the device, or alternatively by the
number of bits in the binary position representation of the device per Revolution.
For linear feedback devices, this value represents the either the number of
Feedback Cycles per Meter (m), or the number of nanometers (nm) per Feedback
Cycle.
Cycles for a Digital AqB device represent the 'line' resolution of the encoder.
Cycles for a Sin/Cos device represent the sinusoidal 'cycle' resolution of the
encoder. Cycles for a Resolver is the 'pole' count of the device. For digital serial
(e.g. SSI) or parallel absolute feedback devices, Cycles represent the 'step' or 'count'
resolution of the device.
The default Feedback Resolution value used for the Feedback Cycle Resolution
attributes depends on the associated Feedback Type and Feedback Unit selection
according to the following table:
