Re: Gear Tooth Sensor

From what I understood from our mentor, the GTS has 4 holes to insert 4 certain screws that are supposed to "tick" with the gear teeth. Those screws are to be, as you say, .5 to 2.7 mm from the certain geartooth?
And another thing, Kevin mentioned this illustration in his Encodr FAQ:
http://kevin.org/frc/encoder/encoder_isr_latency.pdf
What is this illustration about?
And even furthermore, why are there 6 encoder counts in Kevin's Encoder code(we did understand that the first 2 are to calculate velocity of the gear teeth, the 3rd and 4th for the positioning[in relation to the begining point in each intialization of the RC and everything])?
And could someone please send an exact illustration how to connect the GTS to the geer tooth or a picture of a team's GTS connection?
