2.2 Optical Diagrams
The optical diagrams indicate the target spot diameter at any given distance between the target object
and the sensing head.
All target spot sizes indicated in the optical diagrams are based on 90% energy.

Calculating the Target Spot Size
To calculate the target spot size from two known points within an
optical diagram the following formula can be used:
