3.5.5
Validation Time Limit Selection
The validation time limit is used to start making length calculations. Two conditions are necessary to start a
length measurement: Material Present and valid velocity data. When material enters the measurement vol-
ume, the system determines the time between the Material Present signal and the first valid data. If the time
is less than or equal to the validation time limit (selectable via LaserTrak or
), then the start-up
length-correction is calculated and a length measurement is initialized. If the time between the Material Pre-
sent signal and the first valid velocity data is longer than the validation limit, then the length calculation is
aborted and an error or fault is sent. This error is sent by setting the length output in
Final Length Mode
to all
9’s.
3.5.6
Starting/Ending Length Correction
The Validation Time Limit feature is used because the Material Present signal tells the gauge that material is
indeed moving through the measurement zone. If valid velocity measurements cannot be made, then a small
amount of length will not be accumulated which, in turn, will cause a length error. This may or may not be a
problem, depending on the velocity of the material when it passes through the measurement volume during
this time. The start-up length-correction is executed to obtain a more accurate length reading. Each meas-
urement update is divided into small subintervals. When the Material Present signal is received within an up-
date period, the time it was received is recorded with a subinterval clock. The length is calculated by using
valid velocity and integrating over the time measured with the subinterval clock. For example, if the material
speed is 10 meters per minute and material enters the measurement volume in the middle of the 1-
millisecond update period, the subinterval time of 0.5ms is used to calculate length rather than the 1-
millisecond period. In this case, a 0.083 mm correction would be made. The same type of correction is made
when the material leaves the measurement volume.
If problems are encountered during any of the installation steps, contact NDC Technologies for assistance.
