Thinking about this some more, I think it is a quadrature LVDT. As we discussed on IRC it is a lot like an LVDT with multiple armatures. The thing is, if you only have that then you can't infer direction. By having two offset read-heads in quadrature you can tell direction. Quite how you decode that information I am not sure. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
