1°), the distance is larger, with finer angular resolution (e.g. 0.1667°), the distance is
smaller. The range-dependent distance between the measuring points corresponds to
the tangent of the angular resolution × distance.

The graph in
shows the beam diameter and the measuring point distance
depending on the distance to the device.
NOTE
The correct selection of sensor type (SR or HR) and angular resolution is required for
gapless scanning at a certain distance.
