Customised division
Notes
For customised column division you must choose in the M
ODE
area the parameter
C
USTOMISED
(see
First the columns 1 to 10 are displayed for configuration. You can select further
columns (11 to 20 and 21 to 30) in the M
ODE
area in the C
OLUMNS
field (see
).
Activate a column using the check box on the right beside the column number.
In the L
EFT
and R
IGHT
fields enter the left and right border in relation to the global zero point
for the measurement.
The resulting width of the column is displayed in the W
IDTH
field.
Notes
Note that Y extends to the left. For this reason the value for the left border is always
greater than the value for the right border.
If you configure a column entirely or partially outside the measurement area, then the
measured values inside the column but outside the measurement area are not taken
into account.
For each column you can enter a dedicated switching point with hysteresis, an individual
evaluation mode and valid quality that applies only this column.
How to define customised column division:
4.2
Column length
Along with the Y direction, you can also evaluate the columns in the X direction (in
transporting direction).
4.2.1
Column length parameters
Using the O
UTPUT
INTERVAL
field define whether an evaluation is to take place in the X
direction (column length):
Option I
MMEDIATELY
: The results are output immediately, there is no evaluation in the X
direction.
Option G
ATE
: The output interval is controlled by the gate resulting in the evaluation in
the X direction.
Note
The gate can be defined either using an external trigger (see
an internal gate (see
