Measurement target
The measurement target must be within the "valid range" described in "1-7 How to
measure 3D distance by this product", "Field of View".
The following targets may not be measured correctly
.
- Highly reflective objects (e.g. mirror and shiny object)
- Low reflective objects (e.g. black object)
- Objects that allow light to pass through (e.g. glass and plastics with high transmission)
- Presence of an obstacle other than the object to measure
- When this product or an object to measure is moving or vibrating
Impact of obstacle
Check the impact of objects other than the measurement target
.
- If there is an object (obstacle) other than the measurement target is in the vicinity of the
target, the distance to the target cannot be measured accurately due to the reflected
light from the obstacle.
- Floors, walls and ceilings may have the same impact as obstacles
.
- If a transparent object such as glass and plastic is placed between this product and the
measurement target, the distance to the target cannot be measured accurately.
- Separately install a cover, if any, so that the emitted light should not be reflected by the
inside surface of the cover and enter the receiver
.
- A measurement target that is highly reflective and in about 12.5 meters or farther away
from the product is measured as closer
.
