    1 to 1, it is important to properly determine the best measuring distance from the target, to optimize the reading. A field of view of 1 to 1 means that the OS950 viewing area is 1" diameter for 1" distance from target. Optimize optical alignment, so that the OS950 views only the target and does not overlap the measurement area.
