Abstract

See full text

A system is disclosed for monitoring the operation of an encoder having a scale which is illuminated from a light source, in which light from the scale is detected by a detector, with the encoder having means coupled to the detector for detecting in-phase and quadrature signals representing scale position, means for detecting the phase difference between the in-phase and quadrature signals, and means responsive to the detected phase difference for adjusting the output of the light source to maintain its output at a predetermined level and for providing an error signal representing the amount of adjustment of the output of the light source.
