Abstract
A system for determining a signal running time between a position measuring system and an evaluation unit. The system includes a position measuring system that has a graduation connected to a moving element, a scanning unit that scans the graduation, wherein scanning of the graduation generates signals representative of a position of the moving element and a transceiver means for generating serial data that is transmitted along a data line connected to the transceiver. The system further includes an evaluation unit connected to the data line, the evaluation unit having means for determining a signal running time between the position measuring system and the evaluation unit.
