#186397 - yes, but
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Reference was made to one that had 2500 pulses per revolution, and an index, yet was considered "relative". I don't suppose the nomenclature makes that much difference, but I am curious. Doesn't the combination allow you to determine exact position, at least to within the precision limits of the encoder?

YES, with a proper quadrature decoder it does BUT, after a power down, not until index has been passed. "Language professors" may argue, but since the position is relative to the index, that's the name.
