Zusammenfassung:An optical encoder system is disclosed with a single pattern medium having a first coded pattern disposed on the first side, a second coded pattern disposed on the second side, a first optical encoder disposed toward the first side, and a second optical encoder disposed toward the second side. An optical encoder device is disclosed with a first coded pattern disposed on the first side, and a second coded pattern disposed on the second side. There is disclosed a method for using an optical encoder device to obtain information related to a motor which includes the steps of illuminating a first coded pattern disposed on a first side of a pattern medium, illuminating a second coded pattern disposed on a second side of the pattern medium, detecting light reflected from the first side, detecting light reflected from the second side, and analyzing the reflected light.
