Method and device for incremental position determination

A device for the incremental position determination of two objects, which are movable in relation to each other, the device comprising:

• a position signal generator that generates at least one pair of position-dependent incremental scanning signals, which have a defined phase offset from each other and represent a position between two objects;
• a transformation table to which at least one of said at least one pair of position-dependent incremental scanning signals is passed, wherein one or several output signal values with respect to each of said at least one pair of position-dependent incremental scanning signals are stored in said transformation table, wherein said transformation table is dynamically updated in the course of determining said position between said two objects;
• and
• an evaluation unit that receives said one or several output signals and determines said position between said two objects based on said one or several output signal values.
