The spread of the measured distance values can be reduced by calculating the
mean average value.

Table 9: Mean value outcome
For table above applies:
Measuring frequency 15 kHz and output frequency 15 kHz will be achieved
with baud rate = 921.600 and binary output.
All valid measured distance values will be used for SA. If a distance
value is out of the measurement window MW it will be ignored for
the SA calculation.
SO
–
Set offset
SO carries out a single distance measurement and sets it as - OF (offset). SO
can only be executed and is not really a parameter. SO can be used for zero
adjustment of distances in systems or processes.
Please note the interaction of parameter MW, OF, SO.
