Element Description
8 Support Lets you open an HTML version or download a PDF version of the
manual, download the SDK, or save a support file. Also provides
device information. See Support on page 100
Sensor System
The following sections describe the Sensor System category on the Manage page. This category
provides sensor information and the autostart setting. It also lets you choose which sensors to add to a
dual- or multi-sensor system.
Dual- and Multi-sensor Systems
Gocator supports dual- and multi-sensor systems. In these systems, data from each sensor is combined
into a single profile or surface, effectively creating a wider field of view. Any
measurements you
configure work on the combined data.
Although some Gocator models have much wider fields of view, the trade-off is that their resolution is
much lower: finer features on targets are below their resolution and therefore can't be measured.
Models with smaller fields of view—which limit the maximum size of targets that can be scanned—have
vastly finer resolutions. When you combine multiple sensors with a smaller field of view, you obtain a
wider overall field of view with the finer resolution of those models.
Gocator lets you easily and quickly set up dual- and multi-sensor systems from the web interface. Setting
up these systems involves two steps:
1. Assigning one or more additional sensors, called Buddy sensors, to the Main sensor. For more inform-
ation, see Buddy Assignment on the next page.
2. Choosing the layout of the dual- or multi-sensor system. For more information, see Layout on page
84.
