MEASUREMENT & INSPECTION

System Configuration

Many options, yet easy to program.

The software included with the control module makes it easy to configure the High-ResolutionMINI-ARRAY®using your PC-compatible computer*. Simply load the software, access the program, perform the “Ping” procedure to select the desired controller and access the Edit PSF Configuration screen, shown below. Each option is easily selectable, using your mouse and the pop-up menu-style selections.

*Running Windows® 95, 98, NT, ME, XP or 2000

LIGHT ULTRASONIC GAUGING

Selected Controller

Identifies the specific control module being configured.

Control Mode Selection

Continuous Mode: The control module constantly polls the array for status.

Host Mode: The control module polls the array for status when prompted by a host controller.

Gate Mode: The control module polls the array for status when prompted by an input from a Gate sensor.

Analysis (Measurement) Mode Selection

Choose the measurement option that best tells you the size and/or position of objects as they relate to the array.

Serial Communication

Changes the identification and baud rate of the controller being configured.

Serial Transmission

Specifies the type of data transmitted from the control module to its host after each scan.

Measurement Mode Result: Data transmitted will reflect the Analysis Mode selections.

All Mode: Transmits all data.

Max. Meas. Mode: Sends only the largest measurement in each measuring event, to decrease transmission size and speed response. Choose to send when the array is clear or send at the host’s request. Transmission Type: ASCII or Binary, defines the format in which the data

will be sent.

Serial Options: Suppress Clear Data or Suppress Header to decrease transmission size and speed response.

MEASURING LIGHT TEMPERATURE RADAR SCREENS

Scanning Method

Straight scan polls each beam sequentially to determine the target object’s overall size. This is the most accurate and precise measurement, but also the most time-consuming. Single Edge scan requires the target object to block beam 1 (closest to the sensors’ cabled ends), then conducts

atime-saving binary search to “hunt” for the target’s overall height (one variable edge).

Double Edge scan conducts a binary search of the entire array to “hunt” for the target’s overall width (two variable edges).

Trigger/Trigger Channel Number

May be used to trigger (or gate) the scan sequence of another A-GAGE High-ResolutionMINI-ARRAYcontroller; in straight scanning mode, it defines when during each scan discrete Output #2 will change state.

Analog and Discrete

Output Assignment

Scan #: (1-9) Analog outputs are updated with an average value of the data received during the selected number of scans; discrete outputs respond only if the received data is

identical for all of the selected number of consecutive scans.

Set Point and Hysteresis Selection

Assigns the set point to determine where within the array the output(s) will respond and

Assigns an analysis (measurement) mode to each output.

Alarm: Causes the control module to turn on discrete Output #2 whenever the System detects a sensing error or if the optical signal becomes marginal.

hysteresis values to smooth output response.
