cxExplorer Overview 

cxExplorer 

Configuration of a compact sensor can be easily done with the cxExplorer, which is a graphical 

user interface provided by AT - Automation Technology. With the help of the cxExplorer a sensor 

can be simply adjusted to the required settings. Furthermore, the cxExplorer gives the opportunity 

to display various information like the 2D image, 3D height image and many more. 
This  chapter  gives  some  general  information  about  the  layout  of  the  cxExplorer  such  as  an 

overview of how to set parameters and features. 
 

 

More details regarding the operation of the cxExplorer can be found in a 

separate application note.
