Description

Uniform Spacing (Data Resampling)

Analog

Analog

camera gain can be used when the application is severely exposure limited, yet

dynamic range is not a critical factor.

Digital

Digital

camera gain can be used when the application is severely exposure limited, yet

dynamic range is not a critical factor.

Sensitivity

Controls the exposure that dynamic exposure converges to. The lower the value, the

lower the exposure Gocator will settle on.

The trade-off is between the number of exposure spots and the possibility of over-

exposing.

Threshold

The minimum number of spots for dynamic exposure to consider the spot valid. If the

number of spots is below this threshold, the algorithm will walk over the allowed

exposure range slowly to find the correct exposure.

To configure material:

1.

Go to the

Scan

page.

2.

Expand the

Sensor

panel by clicking on the panel header or the

button.

3.

Click the button corresponding to the sensor you want to configure.

The button is labeled

Top

,

Bottom

,

Top-Left

, or

Top-Right

, depending on the system.

Materials can be configured separately for each sensor.

4.

Click on the

Materials

tab.

5.

Choose a material in the

Materials

drop-down or choose

Custom

to manually configure settings.

See the table above for the customizable settings.

6.

Save the job in the

Toolbar

by clicking the

Save

button

.

7.

Check that laser profiling is satisfactory.

After adjusting the setting, confirm that laser profiling is satisfactory.

Various settings can affect how the

Material

settings behave. You can use Video mode to examine how

the settings interact. See

Spots and Dropouts

on page 110 for more information.

Alignment

Gocator sensors are pre-calibrated and ready to deliver profiles in engineering units (mm) out of the box.
However, alignment procedures are required to compensate for sensor mounting inaccuracies, to align
multiple sensors into a common coordinate system, and to determine the resolution (with encoder) and
speed of the transport system. Alignment is performed using the

Alignment

panel on the

Scan

page.

Once alignment has been completed, the derived transformation values will be displayed under

Transformations

in the

Sensor

panel; see

Transformations

on page 83 for details.

Alignment States

A Gocator can be in one of three alignment states: None, Manual, or Auto.
