(not including the scanning process) is up to 20 ms Strong Electric Field As a general rule, always isolate low-voltage, logic-type devices such as Photoneo 3D sensors from devices that are high voltage and generate high electrical noise. Carefully consider the routing of the wiring for the devices in the panel as well.
DC wiring. Clearance for Cooling and Wiring Photoneo 3D Sensor is designed to be cooled through natural convection cooling. In order to ensure adequate cooling, a clearance of at least 25 mm above and below the device must be allowed. When planning placement of the Photoneo 3D Sensor, consider placing heat-generating and electronic-type devices in the cooler areas.

Equivalently, temporal noise can also be defined as the average distance of the 3D points from the average Z-value of the 3D points. Stands for Frames Per Second. FPS is used to measure frame rate – the number of consecutive full-screen images that are displayed each second. support@photoneo.com Photoneo 3D sensors - User Manual 30/42...
It is the distance between the camera and the projection unit. Temperature working range Photoneo 3D sensors are designed to work within the full temperature working range, however, to achieve the stated accuracy, it is advised to keep the ambient temperatures in the optimal temperature working range.
