Position-measuring device

摘要

A position measuring device that includes a scanning device and a measurement representation that is scanned by the scanning device. The measurement representation includes a code of a succession of code elements, which form at least a first codeword and a second codeword that define an absolute position, the first codeword and the second codeword are arranged interlaced with each other in that code elements associated with the second codeword are inserted into a succession of code elements associated with the first codeword. The code elements associated with the first codeword have inverse properties with respect to the code elements associated with the second code codeword.
