Commutating
signals
The commutating signals C and D are derived from the Z1 track, and are equal to one sine or
cosine period per revolution. Their typical signal amplitude is 1 Vpp (signal level: see incremental
signals A and B). The recommended input circuit of the subsequent electronics is the same as
for the 1 Vpp interface.
