Abstract
An incremental transducer () as well as a process (D) are provided for determining an actual position of a body () along a measuring path (W) and/or a change therein. A position code () of the incremental transducer () has a gap (). To make it possible to use the incremental transducer () as flexibly as possible and to operate it despite dimensional tolerances of the body (), provisions are made for converting an actual location frequency (Fi) of the position code () into a desired location frequency (Fs) that is independent from the length (L) of the gap () to generate a position signal (S) representative of the actual position or the change therein.
