To significantly reduce the probability of mutual interference, the two LMS400 can
synchronise with each other so that their rotating mirrors rotate offset from each other by a
specific angle. This angle is termed the “Phase”.
Recommendation
On the master set a phase of 35°. Then the mirrors will rotate offset by one half field of view.
How to configure the devices as a master or slave:
3.8.2
Increment configuration
The LMS400 can use the pulses from an encoder to determine the position or velocity. As
an alternative, it is also possible to enter a constant velocity that can be used for making
the position calculations.
How to configure the evaluation of the encoder:
3.9
Interfaces
The LMS400 has different interfaces for the configuration and the transmission of
measured values. You can configure the LMS400 and also receive measured values via
each of these interfaces.
Notes
It is only possible to output all measured values of a scan in real-time using the Ethernet
interface.
The aux interface is primarily intended to be used to provide a safe data connection for
setting parameters, for this reason the interface parameters for the aux interface
cannot be changed
