Resolution and Maximum Speed Tables - Serial Output
Mercury II 5800Si/Pa systems have programmable interpolation from x4 to x16384 in binary
steps. Below is a table of examples. Unlike A-quad-B encoders, the MII5800Si/Pa resolution does
not drop off with speed.

Note*: Resolution values shown are approximate. To calculate exact resolution values, convert from
CPR (Counts per Revolution) to the desired units.
Note: To calculate desired rotary interpolation multiplier, use the following equation:
𝐼𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑀𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑟 =
𝐷𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 (𝐶𝑃𝑅)
