Hysteresis Lines
Displays the hysteresis distance.
4.3 Summary Pane
The
Summary
pane (blue shaded area) displays
Distance
,
Signal Strength
, and
Output Status
.
Distance
Displays the distance to the target.
Signal Strength
Displays the amount of excess gain of the signal received from the target. The excess gain is relative to the
minimum detection threshold (Signal Strength Threshold = 1).
Output Status
Displays whether the output is ON or OFF, or the analog output value (analog models only).
4.4 Sensor Settings Pane
Set parameters for the sensor.
Click
Read
to read the connected sensor's current parameters. Click
Write
to write the parameters to the sensor. Yellow
highlight on a parameter's value indicates changes that have not yet been written to the sensor.
4.4.1 General Tab
The following are the parameters on the
General
tab on the
Sensor Settings
pane.
Response Speed
Choose the response speed of the sensor (Slow, Medium, Fast).
Target Selection
Signal Strength Threshold
: Choose the threshold for the minimum amount of signal needed to actuate the output.
Target Mode
:
Strongest Target
—Output responds to the target with the highest signal strength that is over the signal strength
threshold.
Nearest Target
—Output responds to the nearest target that is over the signal strength threshold.
Advanced Target
Minimum Active Sensing Range
: Sensor ignores anything from the face of the sensor to this defined range.
Maximum Active Sensing Range
: Sensor ignores anything past this defined range.
Measurement Hold
: A rate of change filter to smooth the output and reduce chatter. For more information, see
Using Measurement Hold Example
on p. 21.
Hold Time
: The period of time the sensor holds its last measurement and output status if the measurement changes
more than the
Maximum Distance Increase
or the
Maximum Distance Decrease
. Available when
Measurement
Hold
is set to enabled.
Maximum Distance Increase
: The allowed limit the measurement can increase, or move farther away from the
sensor, before initiating the
Measurement Hold
. Setting this to zero disables it. Available when
Measurement Hold
is set to enabled.
Maximum Distance Decrease
: The allowed limit the measurement can decrease, or move closer to the sensor,
before initiating the
Measurement Hold
. Setting this to zero disables it. Available when
Measurement Hold
is set to
enabled.
Sensor Polarity
Define the output and remote input signal type.
Sensor Lockout
Remote Input (Gray Wire)
: Enable or disable the remote input wire.
Sensor Push Buttons
: Enable or disable the push buttons.
