ABSTRACT:
A scale (10) has magnetic incremental scale marks in a track (10a), and a pseudo-random code sequence in a reference mark track (10b). Sensors (2,3) feed the pattern of the code in the track (10b) into a bi-directional shift register (18). So that a user can select any desired position for use as a reference mark, a memory (24) is provided, into which any selected code value can be pre-stored. A comparator (26) then compares the code value in the shift register (18) with the code value in the memory (24) and outputs a reference mark signal (Ri) when they match.
