Best answer 8 votes 8 votes A digital optical encoder is a device that converts motion into a sequence of digital pulses.Resolution is defined as the smallest discernible quantity. Hence its is 360/2^8Ans is 1.4 degree.

3 votes 3 votes An 8-bit encoder will have a resolution of 2^8, since we know that Resolution=2^n, where n=Number of bits in the encoder.So resolution is 1 part in 256. Angle of resolution=(1/256)*360 D = 1.4 D, where D=Degree. Prince Mishra answered Mar 3, 2017 Prince Mishra comment Share Follow See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
