6.3 Detail-Setup
6.3.6 Expert:
The settings of the expert menu are pre-configured for the most typical applications. In
order to adapt the sensor in an optimal way to the real szenary the meaning of the
following parameters are descripted:
The setting of middle / long in connection with changing illuminations can cause
unmeant activations particularly in outdoor applications. Therefore this parameter has to
be set very carefully.
Binaryfilter: Defines the suppression of noise- and fail-influences against to the de-
tecting objects. The function can be set in four steps.
The size of proximate, detected cells grows by increasing this parameter.
In case of great detecting objects at fore- and background (!) the increment of the bi-
naryfilter value is highly recommend!
Trace: The sensor is analysing all current, detected objects regarding to their further
course. The length of the resulted motion vector is a measure for the distance covered.
(Trace). The value of the trace parameter defines, whether a recognized object causes
immediately an alarm (left position, trace is disabled), or after achievement of a mini-
mum trace distance (short, middle, long).
Objects, which are moving predominantly in one direction, can be unambiguously identi-
fied. On the other hand, objects that do not move in one direction such as a tree in the
wind cause only a local movement without a significant trace.
Note:
Increasing of the value trace extends the analysing time of the objects and the time until
alarm triggering!

Ringbuffer:
The DMD-4 scans the entire video
picture 8 times per second. Thus,
very fast picture changes can be
correctly detected.
If tiny objects move very slowly,
sensors with a measurement of a
fixed, short time interval may not
always trigger correctly between
two video pictures which are to be
compared.
The change in brightness as com-
pared to the time interval is not
large enough to exceed the trigger
sensitivity (see also "sensitivity",
page 23).
The DMD-4 solves this problem by
an extension of the time interval by
means of an internal circular buffer.
Now slow movements in the picture
can be correctly detected.
