Operation Modes - Measurement Modes
4.7.3
The Parameter sets the internal operation mode, meaning the way in which the distance value is calculated
out of the measured raw data.
This is important to ensure on one hand precise and on the other hand reliable measurement. The measuring
results of the different modes may vary by a few millimeters, this is normal and no measuring error.There are
four possible modes:
Fast
o
Setting can be used when the target is only some milliseconds in the view of the sensor
o
This mode is mostly used for time sensitive applications
o
This algorithm will improve the time response while reducing the accuracy of the detected
signal.
Precise (default)
o
Is more exact than the fast mode and should be chosen in most standard applications where
the target reflects a clear and strong signal (e.g. flat sample with an ideal alignment to the
sensor)
o
Recommended mode when operating with a corner cube
Structured
o
Recommended mode when fulfilling an application of level detection of solid substances
o
Use for uneven surfaces
o
Should be used when the Exponential Peak Filter is enabled
Precise – all
o
The same algorithm as in precise gets applied to all found peaks.
o
This mode is used when all Peaks transmitted in the Process Data are used for further
evaluation.
Process Value Exponential Filter. Peak Filter
4.7.4
The parameter defines the number of periods over which the signal used for the peak calculations is
exponentially averaged. The value of the filter is always a multiple of the minimum measurement time. The
sensor automatically uses the next smaller possible value.
This filter is used for targets which do not offer a stable nor strong reflection (e.g. grain, coffee beans, debris,
etc.). With the help of this filter a more stable output signal can be achieved and short periods of signal loss
get neglected.
This filter should be used with caution and not for fast applications.
Object Tracking Mode
4.7.5
The tracking mode is used to follow (track) an object over a longer distance, especially if the object is moving
for- and backwards to or away from the sensor (axially). The main reasons for a wrong measurement are
unwanted or unknown object occurring in the sight of the sensor. Goal: keep the measurement on the wanted
object all the time. If the tracking mode is enabled, the sensor chooses an object on the basis of the other set
parameters (e.g. Peak Selection). Once the track is selected, the sensor keeps this object (distance) as the
sensor output, even if other, stronger echoes may occur.
