I'm in process of selecting a rotary encoder for a project I'm working on and I could use some help. My confusion stems from the tendencies of different brands expressing the specs of their products differently, some simply state the angular resolution of the encoders and other show bit-rating.
Is there a linear relationship between the two measurements? Or are there other factors that need to be accounted to calculate angular resolution from bit-rating?
I need to have at least 0.01deg resolution for my application, which would be in the higher end of what can be accomplished by the magnetic rotary position sensors I'm thinking of using.
