8. The analog voltage interface 

The  analog  interface  on  the  main  connector  produces  a  linear  voltage  of  between  0.00  V  and  2.048  V  that  is  proportional  to  the 
measured distance. A distance reading of zero meters always produces a 0 V output. 

 

 

Figure 7 :: Analog voltage connections 

The “6: Analog range” selection changes the value in meters that equates to 2.048 V. This can be any value between 1 meter and 256 
meters depending upon the requirements of the application. 

The “7: Analog port output rate” setting allows the output rate of the analog port to be set to any value within the limits imposed by 
the exposure time. 

Setting

Values

Description

6: Analog range

1 m … 256 m

Selects the maximum distance that produces 2.048 V on the analog 
port. This value changes the scale of the analog output.

7: Analog port output rate

39 … 20010 readings / sec

Sets the rate at which the analog port is updated with distance 
readings. 

The maximum value is limited to the “2: Exposure time” setting.
