Overview

Performance
The performance of the Ruler – that is, the maximum number of profiles it can deliver
each second – depends on the chosen measurement method, but also on the size of the
sensor image in which to search for the profile. The larger the image, the longer it takes to
search.
Therefore, one way of increasing the performance of the Ruler is to use a smaller part of
the sensor.

Note that the maximum usable profile rate is usually limited by the characteristics of the
object’s surface and conditions in the environment.
