In the M
ISCELLANEOUS
SETTINGS
area you can define a device name for the LMS400. The
device name will then be displayed on the project tree. Use this field, for example, to make
it easier to differentiate between different applications.
How to enter a device name:
If the PC is connected to the LMS400 and the device is switched online, the device name is
displayed in the project tree.

Enable extended RIS detectivity
If you want to measure objects with remission values smaller or higher than the values given
in the data sheet for the LMS400, you can extend the so-called Remission-Information-
System (RIS) in the LMS400. In this way the RIS facilitates, e.g., the improved detection of
dark or lighter bodies with reduced accuracy.
For measured values that are measured using extended RIS detectivity the following
applies:
The distance value may not have the defined measuring accuracy.
The same measurement point/the same object will not necessarily be detected by
another LMS400 because the remission value determined is dependent on the factory
calibration of the sensor, outside the specified range the calibration may be subject to
minor variations.
With extended RIS detectivity, your application must therefore evaluate, based on
additional criteria, whether the distance value is to be used or not.
