Automatic Modulation - MICRO-EPSILON colorSENSOR CFO Series Operating Instructions Manual

Operation
5.6.3.3
Automatic modulation is required after replacing the sensor (optical fiber) with changed measurement ar-
rangement or when the measurement environment has changed.
Fig. 39 Automatic modulation
The automatic modulation determines a suitable combination of internal controller parameters for the current
optical situation. The modulation of the receiver is adjusted so that it detects enough, but not too much light
(default setting 80 %).
The controller internally sets the best combination of measurement averaging, LED intensity and amplifying
factors depending on the selected measurement frequency.

Automatic Modulation

Go to Settings > Detection profile > Automatic modulation.
The modulation of the controller parameters should be set for the brightest color to be tested. The
controller should have reached operating temperature; depending on the ambient conditions. This is the
case after approx. 45 min. warm-up time.
