The distance measuring device DL100 Pro comprises optics, a sender/
receiver unit and an evaluation unit. The sender emits the laser beam.
The receiver receives light reflected by the reflector. The evaluation
electrical unit determines the distance between sensor and reflector by
time of flight measurement.
For measurement, either the reflector or the measuring device may move
linearly along the laser beam.
The measured distance is transferred via the "RS-422" interface and may
be used, e.g. for the control unit or a position-control circuit.
