Abstract

A measurement method for a mechatronics apparatus, which includes an electromagnetically actuated component, an electronic control circuit, and at least one sensor, is selectively timed to minimize electromagnetic interference between the electromagnetically actuated component and the sensor(s). This is accomplished by restricting a sensor measurement to a time window, during which time the electromagnetically actuated component either has no current flow, or has a current change magnitude that is lower than a predetermined limit.
