4-3-1. Compensation Value
The hologram grating pitch P
0.55 µm/22 µinch, while the detector signal pitch Ps is
theoretically 1/4 of it, that is 0.14 µm/5.5 µinch. This value
differs slightly from scale to scale. Therefore, it is necessary
to additionally make the pitch compensation for each scale,
in order to detect precise displacements.

Be sure to set the display unit or interpolator to the
compensation value of the scale before operation.
When you operate the unit in an environment
where the temperature is not 20
To operate the unit in an operating temperature which is
not 20 °C, adjust the compensation value as shown below
to make a temperature adjustment. The following
example shows the adjustment method for an operating
temperature of 23 °C

4-3-2. Compensation Value Setting
See the section "Compensation Value Setting" of the display
unit (BR series) or interpolator (BD series) operating
manuals.
Note
The compensation values of the display unit (BR series) and
interpolator (BD series) are set to all zeros at the time of
shipment. In this state, the alarm sounds and you cannot
operate the unit. Be sure to set the display unit or interpolator
to the correct compensation value of the scale before
operation.
