What is encoder resolution?

Just like the different divisions a measuring tape (inches, ½ inch, ¼ inch etc.), the resolution on an encoder defines how coarse or fine of a measurement can be determined. The higher the resolution, typically called out in CPR, the more unique positions can be resolved in the rotation of an encoder.
