Operation of the Measuring System with a PC Instructions for Operation 6.4.1 Measuring Field Selection The optical design of the sensor satisfies the so-called “Scheimpflug condition” which ensures optimum mapping over the complete measuring range. In doing so, the measuring range is mapped on a rectangu- lar matrix.

Operation of the Measuring System with a PC The measuring field can be restricted by omitting complete matrix areas in order to suppress interfering im- age ranges. The following measuring fields are used in the demonstration program, see Chap. 6.2. Name Index Large...
Operation of the Measuring System with a PC 6.4.2 Calibration The calibration of the sensor is performed using the complete matrix and is independent from the selected measuring field. The trapeze form of the measuring field is produced from the projection onto the sensor matrix. The standard measuring range is framed in the center.
Operation of the Measuring System with a PC 6.4.3 Automatic Exposure Time Regulation The automatic exposure time regulation facilitates the recording of the profile with optimum exposure time (shutter time). The Exposure time preset by the user is used as the starting value for the automatic exposure time regu- lation.

Operation of the Measuring System with a PC Error Influences 6.5.1 Reflection of the Target Surface The sensor basically evaluates the diffuse portion of the laser line reflections. Any statement about a mini- mum reflection factor is only possible with reservations. A preliminary examination is necessary for using the sensor on transparent or reflecting objects.
Operation of the Measuring System with a PC 6.5.4 External Light An interference filter in the sensor is present for suppression of external light. In general, the shielding of external light directly emitted on the target or reflected in the sensor must be ensured using protective covers or similar.
Operation of the Measuring System with a PC 6.5.7 Shadowing Effects - Receiver: The laser line can disappear completely or partially behind steep edges. The receiver then does not „see“ these areas. - Laser line: The fan-shaped form of the laser line inevitably results in partial shadowing at vertical edges. In order to make these areas visible, only changing the sensor or object position helps.
Operation of the Measuring System with a PC Cleaning A periodically cleaning of the protective housings is recommended. Dry cleaning This requires a suitable optical antistatic brush or blow off the panels with dehumidified, clean and oil free compressed air. Use a dry, clean, soft, lint-free, antistatic lens cloth to clean the protective glass.
