Measurement Configuration
The measurement configuration is designed for measurements on the sensor.
The following parameters are common for all the components in the Measurement con-
figuration:
Input parameters
Use enable
States if enable signal should be detected or not. Default
value 0.
0 = disabled
1 = enabled
Cycle time
In free-running mode; the time in micro seconds between
each measurement.
In pulse triggering mode; the shortest possible time between
two measurements – that is, between two trig pulses.
Start column
The first sensor column to acquire data from.
0 – 1280 (for Ruler E 600).
0 – 768 (for Ruler E 1200).
Number of columns
The number of columns to acquire (a multiple of 8).
256 – 1536 (for Ruler E 600). Default value 1536.
256 – 1024 (for Ruler E 1200). Default value 1024.
Trig mode
Triggering mode:
0 = Free-running/No triggering
1 = Not applicable in Ruler E
2 = Pulse triggering
Number of pulses per
trig
Only valid for pulse triggering. 1 – 65535
Scan height
Number of profiles delivered per buffer when
Use enable
is
set to 1. 1 – 65535
This value should be the same as the
ProfilesPerBuffer
property set for the Ruler object in the application.
Mark
States if encoder values and input status information should
be inserted in the profile or not.
0 = No.
1 = Values inserted.
