Resolution
The measurement data can be sent in four different resolutions: 1 cm, 0.5 cm, 0.25 cm or 0.125 cm.
Fire Interval
The time between firing two sensors can be adjusted to avoid unwanted echos from earlier pulses. The
minimum time a sensor needs to send a pulse and evaluate the echo is 10 ms. The minimum firing interval of
10 ms offers the fastest cycle time and is designed for a relatively short distance detection up to 150 cm. When
the object is placed at a distance of more than 150 cm, there is not enough time for the sensor to receive the
reflected echo within 10 ms. To provide enough time for the reflected echo to be received by the sensor at the
maximum distance the default firing interval is 20 ms.
Sender
If the group operates in cross-echo mode the pulse sending sensor can be selected here.
Transmit
Includes the group into the data output.
Cross-Echo
Switches the group from normal, sequential operation mode to cross-echo mode.
