Abstract: In a method for operating an absolute measuring position detection system having a sensor arrangement (100) and a single-track magnetic code object (105) with non-repeating code regions, wherein the sensor arrangement (100) is formed by a substantially linear arrangement of a plurality of magnetic field sensors (110), it is provided in particular that the relative position of the sensor arrangement (100) with respect to the respective code object (105) is determined by searching for a partial pattern which is most similar to a currently sensor-detected partial pattern on the basis of available reference data containing magnetic curve progressions or magnetic patterns of magnetic field vector components detected by sensors for the entire code object (105) depending on the position on the code object (105).

Abstract: A sensor arrangement for an absolute measuring position detection system based on a magnetic code object has a substantially linear arrangement of magnetic field sensors, wherein a bit pattern encoded on a single-track magnetic code object having a uniform bit length is readable by the magnetic field sensors. In the case of a position detection system having the sensor arrangement, the values of magnetic bits are detected in the range of a detected bit sequence and the position of each 0?1 and 1?0 bit transition along a longitudinal axis of a code object is determined from the detected bit values.
