Disk

A disk is the round mylar material used by US Digital on which is placed an evenly spaced pattern of windows and lines. When that pattern passes between an LED and detector the encoder provides a corresponding output. The number of line/window pairs provide the native resolution. The disk is also available mounted on an aluminum hub and is called a HubDisk.
