7.4. Resolution
The number of pixels used by the CMOS line is defined by the resolution. The higher the resolution set, the
smaller the detectable movements of an object and the slower the output rate of the Sensor becomes when
there is a change in the measured values.

High:
High resolution, low output rate
Medium: Medium resolution, medium output rate.
Low:
Low resolution, high output rate.
7.5. Filter
The filter (filter size) is the number of measured values over which the Sensor takes an average. The larger the
filter selected, the slower the response time of the Sensor becomes when there is a change in the measured
values. A larger filter improves the reproducibility of the Sensor.

If 1 is selected, each measured value is output directly without averaging. When-
ever a value greater than 1 is selected, the Sensor takes an average over the
selected number of x measured values.
7.6. Exposure
The Sensor adjusts its exposure time or light pulse duration automatically up to a maximum value on the object
to be detected. In the default DCM (Default Capture Mode), the Sensor has a fixed maximum possible exposure
time. In the case of black or shiny objects, for example, it can be helpful to lengthen this time. It can be helpful to
reduce the exposure time when the Sensor is aimed at the light source. In the case of problematic applications,
it can be influenced by different modes or manually.

SCM (Short Capture Mode): The Sensor exposure time can be shortened on
dark or glossy objects (e.g. black varnish) in order
to reduce a fall in the measuring rate.
LCM (Long Capture Mode): The Sensor exposure time can be lengthened on
dark or glossy objects (e.g. black varnish) in order
to achieve a more accurate measurement.
DCM (Default Capture Mode): Default exposure time for standard applications.
CCM (Custom Capture Mode): The Sensor exposure time can be adjusted manu-
ally between 100…2000 µs.
