SOPAS removes the marking rectangle and instead con-
nects the two nearest marking rectangles with a new line. 

Rotating the field pair around the central axis along with 

the TiM

 

>

In order to align the position of the field pair in SOPAS to 

the conditions on site from the user's perspective, enter 

and confirm the desired angle of rotation in the 0.0° input 
field (negative sign "

" means turn right). 

Setting up the reference contour field 

In each field set, any field can be selected as a reference 
contour field. The reference contour field is used to monitor 

contours. This makes it possible to recognize when the 

background is no longer detected in the required field – for 

example, as a result of covering or rotating the sensor.

The TiM uses the same evaluation strategy for all reference 

contour fields (evaluation time and blanking size).

1. 

Select the required field in the field set.

2.

3. 

Delete the two field positions closest to the sensor.

4. 

Mark the two remaining field positions and shift them 

outside of the required reference contour area.

5. 

Use the 

 button to switch to the configuration for the 

reference contour field start points. The field starting 

points must lie between the scan line and the scanner so 
that the scan line passes between the start and end points 

of the reference contour field.

6. 

Depending on the required shape of the reference contour 
field, create additional field points between the sensor and 
the reference contour field. The distance between the start 
and end points of the reference contour field should be 
approximately 20 cm.

 

>

The 

 button can be used to switch between the start 

and end points of the reference contour field for editing 

purposes. The active points are highlighted in light green 
while the deactivated points are dark green.

Some other useful functions

• 

 button: Display the fields in the polar coordinate 

system

• 

 button: Change the view of the TiM/ fields from above 

(TiM: black) to the view from below (TiM: blue)

• 

 or 

 button: Switch off the display the full measur

-

ing line or display a dotted measuring line.

Response time, blanking size and holding time

 

>

Adjust the response time of the fields, the blanking size 
of objects, and the holding time of the OUT 1 and OUT 4 

switching outputs under 

s

ettinGs

 on the right side of the 

program window. All three values are valid for both fields 

and switching outputs. 
When selecting the response time, note that the TiM's 

internal reaction time must also be added (max. 67 ms).

To test the effects of the changed settings, click on the

monitor

 tab at the top. 

If the changed fields have been transferred to the TiM as 

described

SOPAS will also display these in the monitor, 

displaying the infringed fields in yellow. If you wish to 
observe another field set, it must first be activated accord

-

ingly using the switching inputs. If you wish to observe 

another field set, it must first be activated accordingly 

using the switching inputs.

The blanking size is the cross-section of the object after 
which an object not previously in the viewing area of the TiM 

leads to a field infringement.
