With a peak calibrated plus lookup table hybrid system, bipolar sensor data is first normalized to ±1 for use with the arctan2 (two sensors) or arcsin (one sensor) function to determine a preliminary angle (Ap). Arctan2 must be used instead of arctan because arctan2 accounts for which of the two values are negative. Then the calculated Ap for various known ideal angles (Ai) are recorded as calibration angles (Ac), and a linear error adjustment is done to all future Ap based on the error between the recorded Ac and the known Ai. The process for calibration is:
