Most optical encoder specify their resolution as pulses per revolution (PPR) which will equal 4X amount of position values per revolution. I.e. 1000 PPR encoder will yield resolution of 4000 counts per revolution. | Most optical encoder specify their resolution as pulses per revolution (PPR) which will equal 4X amount of position values per revolution.

Most encoder suppliers specify quadrature encoder resolution as PPR (pulses per revolution) or LPR (lines per revolution). This specifies how many electrical pulses (0 to 1 transitions) there will be during one revolution. Some manufacturers (such as Avago and USdigital) uses name CPR (counts per revolution) to specify pulses per revolution which may seem counter-intuitive. | Most encoder suppliers specify quadrature encoder resolution as PPR (pulses per revolution) or LPR (lines per revolution).

As each pulse will contain two edges (rising and falling) and there are two pulse channels (A and B) with 90 degree phase shift, the total amount of edges will be four times the number of PPR. Most quadrature receivers use so called 4X decoding to count all edges from encoder A and B channels yielding 4X resolution compared to raw PPR value. | As each pulse will contain two edges (rising and falling) and there are two pulse channels (A and B) with 90 degree phase shift, the total amount of edges will be four times the number of PPR.
