Abstract: An angular correction method is provided for a rotary encoder in which angular skip does not occur in determining an angle at a position of switching a combination of successive angular graduation images used in interpolation calculation. An angular correction quantity Ci includes (1) a residual ri between a position computed from a model and an actually read position P, for each angular graduation image position and (2) a tangential slope f?(xi) of residual curve, r=f(x), determined by fitting the residuals to a polynomial f(x) which is a function of angular graduation image number x. The actually-read position P is corrected as P+Ci to perform interpolation calculation determining an angle without angular skip.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric optical distance wavelength meter detecting the time when the switching is completed and shortening the time required for distance measurement by immediately starting the distance measurement when measurement light and reference light are switched by a light path switching device. An electric optical distance wavelength meter includes a light emitting element for emitting measurement light toward a target placed on a measurement point; a light receiving element for receiving the measurement light coming back after reflecting on the target; a CPU for calculating the distance to the target or the object based on light receiving signals from the light receiving element; and a light path switching device for switching the measurement light so that the measurement light passes through an internal light path from the light emitting element to the light receiving element.

Abstract: A distance measuring device is provided that reduces the time required for a distance measurement without degrading accuracy of the measured value.
