Video averaging
Recursive 2 / 4 / 8
Moving 2 / 4 / 3
Median 3 / No averaging
The video averaging is carried out before
measuring distances or thickness. Recom-
mended for very small peaks.
Measured value
averaging
No averaging
Specify the type of averaging. The averag-
ing value N defines how many sequential
measurements the controller will use for
averaging, before issuing the next reading.
Averaging does not affect the measurement
frequency.

Error handling
Error output, no measurement
Sensor displays an error number.
Hold last value
0 ... 1024
Value If no valid reading can be obtained, the last
valid value can be hold for a certain period
of time, and will be issued repeatedly. If
the reading is 0, the last valid value is hold
permanently.
