Method of determining a position in dependence on a measurement signal of a position sensor
First Claim
1. A method of determining a position in dependence on a measurement signal of a position sensor, the position sensor having a sensor element and a transmitter part displaceable between a first end position and a second end position, and the measurement signal having an extreme value between the first end position and the second end position, which comprises the following method steps:
- determining actual values of the measurement signal in a first end position and a second end position;
determining an extreme value of the measurement signal between the first end position and the second end position; and
determining a position in dependence on a current actual value of the measurement signal, the extreme value and the actual values in the first end position and the second end position.

Abstract
The position sensor has a sensor element and a transmitter part which can be displaced between a first end position and a second end position. The measurement signal passes through an extreme value between the first and the second end positions. The actual values of the measurement signal in the first and second end position are determined. The extreme value of the measurement signal between the first and second end position is also determined. The position is determined in dependence on the current actual value of the measurement signal, the extreme value, and the actual values in the first and second end positions.
