Abstract: An interferometric distance-measurement device includes a multi-wavelength light source which provides a beam having at least three different wavelengths. An interferometer unit splits the beam into measuring and reference beams. The measuring beam propagates in the direction of a measuring reflector movable along a measuring axis and undergoes a back-reflection, and the reference beam propagates in the direction of a stationary reference reflector and undergoes a back-reflection. The back-reflected measuring and reference beams interfere with each other in an interference beam. A detection unit splits the interference beam such that several phase-shifted partial interference signals result for each wavelength. A signal processing unit determines absolute position information regarding the measuring reflector from the partial interference signals of different wavelengths and an additional coarse position signal.

Abstract: A device for processing rotation-dependent measured values includes a data converter, a sequencing control, and an output interface. Series of measured values, which are a function of the rotation of a shaft and of which at least one is an angle value that indicates the angular position of the shaft, are conveyable to the data converter at constant time intervals of a measuring interval. The data converter is adapted to subdivide a rotation of the shaft into sectors and, using one of the angle values as a reference angle value, to allocate received measured values to a sector, and per rotation of the shaft, to ascertain for each series of measured values precisely one result value for each sector. The result values are able to be output to the output interface.
