To measure the noise \(n\) of the encoder, one can rigidly fix the head and the ruler together such that no motion should be measured.
Then, the measured signal \(y_m\) corresponds to the noise \(n\).

* Noise Measurement
<<sec:noise_measurement>>
** Introduction :ignore:
This part is structured as follow:
- Section [[sec:noise_bench]]: the measurement bench is described
- Section [[sec:thermal_drifts]]: long measurement is performed to estimate the low frequency drifts in the measurement
- Section [[sec:vionic_noise_time]]: high frequency measurements are performed to estimate the high frequency noise
- Section [[sec:noise_asd]]: the Spectral density of the measurement noise is estimated
- Section [[sec:vionic_noise_model]]: finally, the measured noise is modeled
** Test Bench
<<sec:noise_bench>>
To measure the noise $n$ of the encoder, one can rigidly fix the head and the ruler together such that no motion should be measured.
Then, the measured signal $y_m$ corresponds to the noise $n$.
The measurement bench is shown in Figures [[fig:meas_bench_top_view]] and [[fig:meas_bench_side_view]].
Note that the bench is then covered with a "plastic bubble sheet" in order to keep disturbances as small as possible.

** Validity of the noise model
The cumulative amplitude spectrum is now computed and shown in Figure [[fig:vionic_noise_cas_model]].
We can see that the Root Mean Square value of the measurement noise is $\approx 1.6 \, nm$ as advertise in the datasheet.
