User's Manual
Response time is the time from when the Sensor measures a distance to when the value is
output (either as linear output or judgement output).
The response time changes depending on the settings for the number of samples to average
and calculations.
The measured value is the measurement result displayed on the main display of the
Amplifier Unit in RUN and T modes.
The measured value is the value after all set processing has been completed, e.g., number
of samples to average, scaling, calculations, hold, and zero reset.
p.39
The present value is the current measurement result for the target Amplifier Unit.
Some set processing, such as number of samples to average, and scaling, have been
completed for the current measured value, but calculation, hold, and zero reset settings are
not reflected.
Press the LEFT or RIGHT Key in RUN mode to display the present value on the sub-display.
p.39
The linearity is given as the error in an ideal straight line displacement output when
measuring the standard sensing object.The linearity shows how closely the linear output
maintains a linear relationship to the displacement of the sensing (i.e., it shows the accuracy
of the linear output).
The linear output is analog data output from the linear output line.Either a current or voltage
output can be selected.
The linear output is made based on the display value and monitor focus settings.
The actual value output (the output value) can be displayed on the sub-display by pressing
the LEFT or RIGHT Key in RUN mode.
p.39
"Judgement outputs" is a general term for the HIGH, PASS, and LOW outputs.The
judgement outputs are made in RUN and T mode based on the display values and the
threshold, hysteresis width, and timer settings.
The Smart Monitor is software (sold separately) developed for Windows 98, 2000 and
XP.This software allows communications with ZX-LDA11-N/LDA41-N via the interface unit to
make measurement settings, save settings data, display measurement results as graphs,
and perform data logging.
For the ZX-LDA11-N/LDA41-N Smart Sensors, Smart Monitor version 3.0 or later can be
used.
p.10
The measurement distance is the range (distance) that measurement is possible for the
connected Sensor Head.
p.135, p.137
Sampling period is the time over which the sensing object is measured when the hold
function is being used.
The sampling period is determined by the trigger mode and the delay time.
