The / pushbuttons can be used to switch between the following displays:
•
Relative distance measured value:
The (relative) distance value always takes into account the set measured value off‐
set.
•
Absolute and relative distance measured value:
Simultaneous display of the distance without (absolute) and with (relative) the set
measured value offset.
•
Scaled analog value:
The current output value is only displayed when the analog output is activated.
•
Signal level:
NOTE
The signal level corresponds to the amount of light received by the device's
receiver optics. This is a dimensionless value. It essentially depends on the dis‐
tance from the measuring object, the surface of the measuring object (color,
roughness/gloss, angle to the optical axis), and the cycle time set on the device.
To enable the device to measure the distance correctly, the signal level must not
drop below a lower limit value. The dynamics of the device normally regulate the
level to ensure an optimized value. Depending on the set cycle time, object proper‐
ties, and object distance, the signal level may drop below the lower limit value and
make it impossible to carry out a measurement. It may be possible to improve the
measuring behavior by increasing the cycle time, optimizing the alignment of the
device with the object, or reducing the distance to the measuring object.
•
Distance visualization:
The cursor gives a qualitative indication of the position within the maximum mea‐
suring range.
•
Temperature:
The value displays the temperature inside the device and is not relevant for the
specified operating temperature range.
