    Parameter setup and measuring operation 6 Parameter setup and measuring operation 6.1 General information The LDM52 OEM is parameterized using the serial interface. Precondition for programming via serial interface is a connection provided by a terminal program (e.g. HyperTerminal --> see chap- ter 7).
  • Page 18: Measurement Involving Moving Targets

    Parameter setup and measuring operation 6.2 Measurement involving moving targets Where measurements involve a moving object or the LDM52 OEM is moved during measuring, this will have an impact on the accuracy of the measured value. This must be observed particularly when calculating average values (parameter SA). Measurement jumps and/or considerable changes in the reflectivity of the target surface can pro- long the measurement period.
