Position measuring device and method for operation of a position measuring device
First Claim
1. A method for operation of a position measuring device, which comprises a scanning unit that defines a scanning plane and a measuring graduation that defines a measuring graduation plane, said scanning unit and said measuring graduation are movable relative to one another during a measurement operation, and position-dependent output signals are generated during scanning performed by said scanning unit, said method comprising:
- regulating said position-dependent output signals to constant signal amplitudes by action on a controlling variable;
ascertaining a value of said controlling variable required for said regulating; and
displaying said value of said controlling variable.

Abstract
A position measuring device for generating position-dependent output signals that includes a scanning element by which a scanning plane is defined and a measuring graduation movable relative to the scanning element and defining a measuring graduation plane. The position measuring device further includes a regulating device for regulating output signals to constant signal amplitudes, in that the regulating device acts upon a predetermined controlling variable, to which end the requisite value of the controlling variable for the purpose of regulating is ascertained continuously by the regulating device.
