Initial Operation
Positioning the Target, Thickness Measurement
The visible light spot helps you align the sensor with the
target during commissioning.
Turn on or off the light source in the menu Settings >
System settings.
Position the target (measurement object) as much
as possible in the mid of the measuring range.
The peak positions remains stable in the FFT signal,
even though the measurement target moves. The peak
position depends on the target thickness.

1) The thickness measuring range is 1 ... 100 µm for
n=1.5 (glass); for air gap measurement between two
glass plates (n~1) the measuring range is
1.5 ... 150 µm.
