Abstract

A determination device for determining a value representing a dose of a dose metering device includes an eddy-current-based rotational angle sensor. The rotational angle sensor can be coupled to a rotatable dosing knob of the dose metering device and can image a rotational angle of the dosing knob representing the dose in a rotational angle signal. The determination device further includes an analysis device that can establish the value of the dose using the rotational angle signal.
