Display and Indicators
The display is a 4-digit, 7-segment LED. Run mode is the primary view displayed.
For 2-pt, BGS, FGS, and DYN TEACH modes, the display shows the current distance to the target in centimeters. For dual TEACH
mode, the display shows the percentage matched to the taught reference surface. A display value of
has not been taught.

    Optimize reliable detection by applying these principals when selecting your reference surface, positioning your sensor relative to the reference surface, and presenting your target. The robust detection capabilities of the Q5X allows successful detection even under non-ideal conditions in many cases. Typical reference surfaces are metal machine frames, conveyor side rails, or mounted plastic targets.
