Fig. 3.3: "Select sensor" dialog box
Parameters in the "Select sensor" dialog box:
1 Sensor list: This list contains all Micro-Epsilon 3D sensors which are connected to the PC via Ethernet.
2 Scan for sensors: Press this button in order to identify all sensors which are connected to the PC.
Select a sensor and confirm the dialog with „OK“.
3DInspect now uses the connected sensor as data source. You can make settings for the sensor in the
"Sensor settings" input field (see Chapter
3.4.1 and 3.4.3 ).
3.4.1 Description of the "Sensor Settings" Box (reflectCONTROL)
Use the parameters in this box in order to configure the sensor when using the “reflectCONTROL” sensor
type.
Fig. 3.4: "Sensor settings" box (reflectCONTROL)
You enter the following settings:
- Exposure time [µs]: With this parameter you select the exposure time for the scanner.
- Pattern width [pix]: This parameter defines the stripe width of the sine pattern on the monitor.
- Pattern type: This parameter provides predefined settings options for the number of sine patterns
and of the images to be acquired for processing a measurement operation:

HighSpeed: 4

Balanced: 6

HighPrecision: 12

Custom: Select a custom value for the number of sine patterns (see Chapter 3.4.5 ,
“PatternCount” parameter).
- Amplitude threshold: This parameter provides predefined settings options for the amplitude
threshold. For the calculation of the results, only pixels with an amplitude value larger than this
value are used. Thus, undesirable pixels with low reflectivity (e.g. outside of the measuring object,
or on the border) can be excluded.

Very low: 1

Low: 5

Medium: 15

High: 30
 Custom: Select a custom value (see Chapter 3.4.5 , “AmplitudeThreshold” parameter).
- Referencing state: Shows the referencing state, see Chapter 3.4.2
