3.2.1 Output
Note: The number that follows out on the display indicates which channel is selected.
The Output 1 menu is available in Channel 1. Use this menu to select light operate (LO) or dark operate (DO). The default
output configuration is light operate. To switch between light operate and dark operate, select the desired menu option.
•
—Light operate
•
—Dark operate
The Output 2 menu is available in Channel 2. Use this menu to set the output configuration for Channel 2. The default is
light operate.
•
—Light operate
•
—Dark operate
•
—Complementary to output 1
•
—Remote TEACH input
•
—Laser off when pulled high
•
—Laser on when pulled high
•
—Master sync line output for two-sensor cross-talk avoidance
•
—Slave sync line output for two-sensor cross-talk avoidance
•
—Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) output (see
Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) Output
on page 27)
To configure the sensor for master-slave operation, see
Sync Master/Slave
on page 27.
3.2.2 TEACH Mode
Use this menu to select the TEACH mode. The default is two-point TEACH. For Channel 2, this menu is available when the
output is set to light operate or dark operate.
Note: The number that follows tch on the display indicates which channel is selected.
•
—Two-point static background suppression
•
—Dynamic background suppression
•
—One-point window (foreground suppression)
•
—One-point background suppression
•
—Dual (int distance) window
After the TEACH mode is selected, from Run mode, press and hold TEACH for longer than 2 seconds to start the TEACH
mode and program the sensor. See
TEACH Procedures
on page 21 for additional information and remote input TEACH
instructions.
3.2.3 Adaptive Tracking
and
In adaptive tracking mode, the laser intensity changes to compensate for a loss in excess gain - normally caused by a dirty
lens.
When operating in dual mode, the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm adjusts the switching thresholds (distance and intensity)
around a taught reference surface. Adaptive tracking adjusts for small variations in the reference surface to maintain a
consistent 100P (100%) on the display and to ensure reliable detection. The Adaptive Tracking menu is only available when
Teach Ch1 is set to Dual Mode
Adjustment of the thresholds only occurs when the reference surface is visible to the senor (that is, no target is present).
The Adaptive Tracking Algorithm can reduce or eliminate the need to periodically re-teach the sensor as environmental
conditions change around the sensor.
Enable or disable the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm from the sensor menu. The appropriate speed depends on the
application. This menu is available only if dual (int distance) mode is selected. For Channel 2, the output must be set
to light operate or dark operate.
