the measurement value and sensitivity level can be limited according to the sensitivity.
Use it when abnormal distance is detected due to diffuse reflection caused by surrounding walls, etc.

memory) in the sensor. The writing life of EEPROM is 100,000 times. Be careful of
writing life when performing measurement-by-measurement tuning.

Fine Adjustment of Hysteresis Width
Hysteresis Width Setting
A minute step can be judged by adjusting the hysteresis width according to the
workpiece. However, note that the judgment output varies if lowering the hysteresis
width while the displacement value is varying due to moving workpiece or low
re ection light intensity.
What is Hysteresis Width?
A point in which a judgment output turns from OFF to ON is called an operating
point, and a point in which a judgment output turns from ON to OFF is called a return
point. On this sensor, threshold means operating point, and a distance to the return
point can be set based on the hysteresis width.
Note that the direction where the hysteresis width is set for the threshold differs
depending on ON/OFF of the area output.
