Additional Details

The QEDS-9574 typically consists of an LED light source, a detector IC, and a code wheel or strip. As the code wheel rotates, the detector IC senses the light passing through the slits and generates the quadrature output signals. The index channel provides a reference pulse for absolute position determination. Specific resolution depends on the code wheel used.
