Abstract
A home position indicator that enhances the functionality of an incremental encoder with characteristics of an absolute encoder includes a target flag having a plurality of marks. In one embodiment, pairs of adjacent marks of the plurality of marks define sections between each adjacent pair of marks of the plurality of marks. Each section has a width, wherein one of the sections has a width greater than a width of another of the sections. A sensor sequentially senses two adjacent marks of said plurality of marks to determine a width of the section defined between the two adjacent marks.
