Measuring the Thickness of Multiple Points (sandwiched thickness)

This is an example of how to measure the sandwiched thickness at three places on a workpiece, and calculate the difference (max. value - min. value) of each measured thickness value. [THICK] and [MAX-MIN] are used as the operation modes.

Input A Input C Input E

Thickness

Input A Input B Input C Input D Input E Input F

Input B Input D Input F

CH0 CH1 CH2 CH3 CH4 CH5 CH6

The operation and/or measurement results are output as judgement output or linear output.
