No commands must be sent to the scanner, unless special operation is required. When no special 
command is sent, the scanner is in automatic mode, which is best for most applications. 
When the scanner is powered on, it sends data to the connected PC in a continuous stream. You must not 
care to set the scanner to this operation mode, this will be made automatic, presumed once the application 
software has been configured correctly. Windows TCP socket cares, that all packets will arrive at the PC, no 
user interaction is required. 

 

When creating a 

new

 communication with the scanner after a long waiting period, we recommend to send a 

FiFO reset command 

just once

 in the beginning. This is only relevant for your own application software, to 

avoid reading out 

old data

 from the FiFO memory at start. When using this command, you should trash the 

first image after the reset and 

use only the second

 one. When reading data continuously, FiFo reset is 

not 

recommended. 

 

 

Tipp: examples for the use of register addresses and commands were given in the appendix.

At Pin 6 = Sync-in, the leading edge of the trigger pulse makes the trigger event. The signal should not 
oscillate. The Sync-input is an optic coupler with current limit. The voltage range is TTL … 24 V (max. 30 V 
DC). When the trigger has been made, no additional trigger signal will be accepted during the active 
measurement. The maximum profile rate is approximately 60 Hz.  

 

 

Tipp:  

 

how to use trigger:

 

1.  set register 0x14, Bit 3 to “1” 

2. 

do trigger with a call of register 0x1D,see page 15

 

 

 

Please note:  

in trigger mode, synchronization with other scanners is not available.

The sync-input is used for synchronization of 1 master with other slave scanners. One scanner is defined to 
be the master; the other scanners will be slaves. The sync output of the master scanner is wired to the 
slave scanners sync input, ground is connected accordingly.  

 

Please note:  

in sync mode trigger is not available

The Ethernet-Trigger mode is set in register 0x23 according to the definition on page 17. In this operation 
mode, the scanner creates permanently profiles, 

but holds up data send out

. Only after Ethernet trigger 

event received, the scanner sends out the last profile acquired 

before

. Depending on the speed of the PC, 

profiles could be missing.

Digital inputs 1 and 2 may be used to connect an A/B encoder to the scanner head.  

 

 

Tipp:  

the encoder count can be read out from the registers 13 ... 16.  
the information is transferred embedded into the scan profile data.  
there is no need for special synchronization of the encoder data with the profile data.
