Synchronizing several OD5000 sensors
If several sensor heads are used in the application, they may be synchronized using the
following settings.
One sensor head
is selected by default. To use two sensor heads, a
drop-down menu is displayed with the following request:

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. An application possibility is measuring the thickness of non-transpar‐
ent objects using two sensor heads, for example. 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.

Determining the direction of detection
The direction of detection determines whether the measured value increases (posi‐
tive) or decreases (negative) when the distance between the device and measuring
object increases.
