A point of light is projected onto the measuring object. The light reflected is captured by
a light-sensitive receiver at a specific angle. Based on the angle between the send and
receive direction, the position of the object is triangulated (lat. Triangulum: triangle).
The displacement measurement sensor can be configured via the SOPASair user inter‐
face. For more information visit:
