Question number FAQ-0881

Please tell me the meaning of adjacent error.

Adjacent error refers to the difference between adjacent pitches. It is expressed in absolute values.

The adjacent error of the RP-1700 series varies depending on the number of output pulses. When measuring rotational fluctuations from pulse intervals, please use models with an adjacent error of 1/200 (P) or lower.

Adjacent error 1/200 (P) models: 60, 100, 180, 250, 256, 300, 750, 4500, 6000 (P/R)
