Hold Velocity If Above

The gauge will hold the last valid velocity reading above the value set in Hold

 

 

Velocity If Above when the gauge stops making valid measurements. Set this

 

 

to a high value to disable this function. This is useful if the product can not be

 

 

guided well enough to keep the product in the measuring region of the gauge.

 

 

The range is 0 to 999,999.999.

 

 

 

 

Velocity Hold Timeout

Configures how long the gauge will hold the last reading when measurements

 

 

are not being made. (See the Hold Velocity if Above Setting). This setting can

 

 

be set to any value from 0 to 65535 milliseconds. A setting of 1ms is the

 

 

minimum hold time. A setting of 0 disables the timeout and causes the gauge

 

 

to hold the last reading forever.

 

 

 

 

Calibration Trim

When set to 100.00% the gauge will use the factory calibration. The Factory

 

 

calibration is multiplied by the Calibration Trim percentage to modify the

 

 

calibration of the gauge. This can be used to compensate for shrinkage,

 

 

stretch or misalignment of the gauge. The range is 50% to 200%.

 

 

 

 

DIP Average Time

Normally set to Factory Default. When not set to Factory Default, the range is

 

 

1 to 2047. The DIP is a forward running average applied to the Velocity output.

 

 

Use this to smooth the Velocity output of the gauge. The bigger the number the

 

 

more smoothing will occur.

 

 

 

 

User Update Rate

Sets the rate the RS232, RS422 and Ethernet will be automatically updated.

 

 

The range is 1ms to 2s in 1ms increments.

 

 

 

 

Length Reset Value

Configures the starting length when the length reset occurs. This setting can

 

 

be used to introduce a constant offset (positive or negative) to the measured

 

 

length readings. For example, when using two optical detectors to trigger the

 

 

external Material Present input, this setting would be set to the distance

 

 

between the sensors. This setting affects only the internal length output over

 

 

the serial port or over Ethernet—it does not affect the pulse outputs. For most

 

 

applications, this value should be set to 0.

 

 

 

 

Minimum Velocity Limit

Sets the minimum (most negative) measureable velocity. When a velocity is

 

 

measured below this value, it will be ignored. Can be any positive or negative

 

 

value. To disable, set to a large negative value.

 

 

 

 

Maximum Velocity Limit

Sets the minimum (most positive) measureable velocity. When a velocity is

 

 

measured above this value, it will be ignored. Can be any positive or negative

 

 

value. To disable, set to a large positive value.

 

 

 

 

Length Reset Input

This configures the Length Reset input function. The Graphic on the side of the

 

Action

pop up menu shows the action required to reset the internal length counter of

 

 

the gauge. For example: Rising

 

 

Edge Triggered is selected and

 

 

the graphic shows an arrow on

 

 

the rising edge of the pulse to indicate that

 

 

the length counter will be reset on the rising

 

 

edge of the reset pulse.

 

 

 

 

QF Warning Threshold

Sets the Quality Factor value below which the Quality Factor Warning is

 

 

asserted.

 

 

 

 

QF Warning Timeout

Configures the amount of time that the indicated Quality Factor must be below

 

 

the QF Warning Threshold before the Quality Factor Warning output is

 

 

asserted.
