4.3.3 Numerical Representation of Angles PHI
Electrical angles and mechanical angles are represented as 16 bit integer values. One full revolution of
360 deg is equivalent to 216 = 65536 steps. Any position coming from a sensor is mapped to this integer
range. Adding an offset of PHI_OFFSET causes a rotation of an angle PHI_OFFSET/216. Subtraction of an
offset causes a rotation of an angle PHI_OFFSET in opposite direction.
