Abstract:
An adjustment method with use of an output of a position measurement sensor, wherein said position measurement sensor has a non-contact type measurement element including a position measurement unit for measuring a position of a movable body, wherein:said measurement element further includes a temperature measurement unit integrated therein for measuring an ambient temperature around said measurement element and also includes an output terminal for outputting a position value of said movable body measured by said position measurement unit as well as a temperature monitor terminal for outputting an ambient temperature value measured by said temperature measurement unit; and said position value outputted from said output terminal and said ambient temperature value outputted from said temperature monitor terminal are inputted to an externally connected electronic control unit, wherein control values computed in said electronic control unit are adjusted based on said ambient temperature value outputted from said temperature monitor terminal.
