Operation of the Sensor with a PC
scanCONTROL 29xx
6.4.2 Calibration
The calibration of the sensor is performed using the complete matrix and is independent from the selected
measuring field.
The trapeze form of the measuring field is produced from the projection onto the sensor matrix. The standard
measuring range is framed in the center.
A sensor acceptance report is enclosed for each sensor. Three diagrams for the linearity measurement which
are briefly explained in the report are included in the sensor acceptance report. The key diagram in the sen-
sor acceptance report is shown again below, see
Fig. 26 .

The black points show the places where the measurement error exceeds the linearity limit of 0.08 mm (de-
pending on sensor model). The measurement error increases at both ends of the depth range and particu-
larly in the remote corners. These areas should therefore be avoided for the measurement.
