	Read the manual. Contact the manufacturer. Ask a co-worker who has either the education or experience to do your job for you. Ask your instructor how to check it. Or, you could always have your mother call us at BR-549.

	Check it against another encoder that you know is working.... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	The only way one can truly check anything that measures something is with a more accurate tool than the one that needs checking. So this begs the question, what is the resolution and range of this absolute encoder? Did you honestly think that we could come up with a method to check an absolute encoder without knowing anything about this encoder? Silly me. This is probably what you are looking for. __________________ "Don't disturb my circles." translation of Archimedes last words

	Move it to absolute positions and check the code output? Del __________________ health warning: These posts may contain traces of nut.

	Do you have a linear or circular encoder? What type do you have ? optical ? Why do you suspect that it is incorrect ? __________________ Never do today what you can put of until tomorrow - Student motto
