Cycle

A Cycle refers to one complete four-state quadrature cycle. One quadrature cycle is generated by one line and one window called a line pair on the encoder disk.

Each cycle is divided into 360 electrical degrees (°e) and can be decoded into 1, 2, or 4 counts, referred to as x1, x2, or x4 resolution multiplication.
