10. Positioning of Sensor and Test Object
General
i
Note the following instructions for optimum positioning of the sensor and test
object.
- Observe an optimum distance between the sensor and the surface of the test object.
- Align the sensor with predominantly diffusely reflecting surfaces almost perpendic-
ular to the surface. To avoid direct reflection, we recommend that you tilt the sensor
by a few degrees.
- In the case of partially glossy surfaces, reflections from the test object can be
reduced by inclining the sensor by up to 30° with respect to the surface of the test
object.
Alignment with Crosshair
You will achieve the best results in the mid of the measuring range (focal range of
cameras).
Use the positioning pattern to easily and optimally align the sensor in the mid of
the measuring range. Align the pattern of the projection with the superimposed
pattern.
