The unit of the distance (cm, inches, etc.) results from the given unit of the measuring
wheel circumference.
However, if you want to know the required pulses for a certain distance, you have to take
the following approach:
Pulses per distance = (<distance> / <circumference of the measuring
wheel>) * <pulses per revolution>
Note
The resolution (pulses per revolution) of the rotary encoder is important for distance
measurement.
This has to be determined in advance. The resolution depends on the circumference of
the measuring wheel and the required measuring accuracy.
<circumference of the measuring wheel> = π * <diameter of the
measuring wheel>
<measuring accuracy>
Resolution:
<pulses per revolution> = <circumference of the measuring wheel>
/ <measuring accuracy>.
