Summary:A measuring system for the recording of angular or position values wherein the scale includes a measurement track with absolute encoding, and which is scanned by a sensor is provided. The scale is composed of at least two segments with similar absolute encoding, and a parallel track is provided on the scale with which the absolute value of the particular segment reached is calculated. The total absolute value is then gained from the combination of both absolute values.
