Abstract
A device comprises a magnet and an angle sensor, wherein the angle sensor is configured to detect a rotation angle of the magnet. The device also contains a rotation counter, wherein the rotation counter is configured to record a number of rotations of the magnet. The angle sensor and the rotation counter are implemented in physically separate components.
