4-3-3 Common Setting

■ Sampling Period

This function sets the sampling cycle of measurement.
When measuring an object with poor received light intensity such as black
rubber, extend the sampling cycle to get sufficient light for performing stable
measurement.

*The measurement range may become narrow depending on measurement object
type.
・ When the sampling cycle is set to 10 µs or 20 µs, the measurement range is
limited.
・ When the sampling cycle is set to 10 μs or 20 μs, the functions of median filter
are limited.
As for the functions of median filter, refer to "4-3-1 Head Setting" – 'Median Filter'.
Ex
In case of HL-C203B
In case of setting the installation mode to "diffuse reflection", the measurement
range is 3.8 to 5.0[mm] for the sampling cycle 10 µs, 0 to 5.0[mm] for the 20µs,
or ±5mm for the other cycles. For the setting range for each product type, refer to
"8-2 Sensor Head Specifications".
・ If the sampling cycle is changed, the data unfixed status occurs because the
sampling sequence is executed again. When the data becomes unfixed, the strobe
output is set to "OFF", and after the data become fixed, the strobe output is set to
"ON" and the measurement data display starts.
・ The resolution of the received light intensity waveform is also limited.
