Checking the light distribution curve and peaks
In this settings display, the user can check the light waveform which is displayed on the
receiver. The peak displays the distance to the measuring object. If the device detects
peaks then these are displayed in the corresponding light waveform and labeled P1 to
P8.

Reflected light intensity
During the measurement, light can be reflected from several surfaces at the same
time; for example, from the front and rear of a transparent measuring object.
Direction of detection: The device assigns numbers to the scanned surfaces. This
means that the measurement can focus on individual reflection points (peaks). The
numbers are assigned (using the direction of detection: near/far) in such a way that
they either increase (near) or decrease (far) beginning on the side closest to the sensor.
