Method for compensating for angular errors

A method for compensating angular errors when determining angular values of an arrangement with a permanent magnet and at least two magnetic field sensors, the method comprising:

• connecting a measurement and evaluation device to the magnetic field sensors;
• forming a distance between the permanent magnet and the magnetic field sensors;
• generating a sine signal and a cosine signal using a forcibly guided mechanical movement in the magnetic field sensors or the sine signal and the cosine signal generated by a transform;
• and
• generating an evaluation signal corresponding to the angular values formed from the two signals using an arc tangent function;
• changing, based on arrangement errors and errors of the measurement and evaluation unit, a shape of the evaluation signal and lead to an angular deviation in the evaluation signal;
• and
• changing offset values of the measurement signals to minimize angular deviation;
• ascertaining offset values by determining a first harmonic for the evaluation signal and/or a second harmonic for the signals and/or density differences of measurement points of a Lissajous curve.
