Fig. 3-25 Section view angle sensor
The coarse code placed on the inner circle on the glass disc works like a bar code, the CMOS sensor
will identify the coarse position of the circle. The fine code placed on the outer circle of the glass disc
is an incremental code. By reading the coarse and the fine code an angle can be generated.

The information from the both CMOS sensors will be calculated in the Angle control board into an
angle.
The final angle correction will be done in the MCB board.
