    摘要: Provided are techniques for determining a reel motor angle. An estimate of an interval to degrees translation factor that represents a measurement angle interval divided by a first pulse count is calculated, wherein the first pulse count represents format transitions counted during an angular measurement interval. A reel motor angle is determined using the estimate by: receiving an indication that a rotating reference point has crossed a stationary reference point, wherein the indication is recognized as indicating that an angle between a motor rotor and a motor stator is a reference angle; determining a second pulse count, wherein the second pulse count represents format transitions counted since the indication was received to a given point in time; and at the given point in time, multiplying the second pulse count by the estimate to generate a first value and adding the reference angle to the first value to generate the reel motor angle.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for testing an analog to digital converter with a known analog signal applied. A first register module stores a first digitized instance of an analog signal. A second register module stores a second digitized instance of the analog signal. A difference module calculates the absolute difference between the first and second digitized instances. A bad code module identifies an erroneous digitized instance wherein the absolute difference is greater than a limit value. In one embodiment, a counter module counts the erroneous digitized instance. A test system may identify a failed analog to digital converter if the erroneous digitized instance count is greater than a specified target value.
