LAGEKODIERUNGSANORDNUNG

摘要

A position encoding arrangement is provided having a position locating area from which the positioned co-ordinates of a probe in the area can be found. The invention provides for a change of magnification of the arrangement so that movement of the probe produces a scaled down change in positional co-ordinates. A preferred embodiment provides a light beam encoder for use in conjunction with a C.R.T. type display where a probe is detected and a marker appears on the screen. With the invention change in magnification allows scaled down movement of the marker to allow accurate positioning.
