Synchronization settings (synchronizing multiple sensor heads)
Synchronization mode
If several sensor heads are used in the application, they can be synchronized using the
settings described here.
One sensor head
is selected by default. To use two sensor heads,
a drop-down menu is displayed with the following prompt:
Table 20: Configuration options: Synchronization mode
Setting
Meaning
Synchronous
Synchronizes several sensor heads
Anti interference 1/2
Switches between two sensor heads
The following should be considered when using these modes:
In synchronization mode, the measurement results from two sensor heads are recorded
simultaneously. This can be used, for example, to measure the thickness of non-trans‐
parent objects using two sensor heads. The individual results from the sensor heads
must be accounted for using special control software, which is not possible with the
SOPASair configuration software.
In
Anti interference
mode, the measurement results from several sensor heads are
recorded one after the other. This increases the measurement time to double the sam‐
pling duration for that measurement. This can be in used, for example, in an application
in which the laser beams overlap a pair of sensor heads.
To use this mode, the following settings must be made:
1.
Define one device as a master and the others as slaves,
.
2.
Set
Anti interference 1
for the master.
3.
Set
Anti interference 2
for the slave.
✓
The devices will now take measurements one after the other.
Accurate time synchronization
A PD5000 is defined as a time server in this field. This allows the internal clock within
all the connected devices to be synchronized precisely via the standardized precision
time protocol (PTP). To use this function, one device must be defined as a master. All
the other devices must be defined as a slave.
This procedure is necessary when
Synchronous
or
Anti interference
is set as the synchro‐
nization mode.
