5.4 Average Value Formation
5.4.1 Parameter
Average: Number of measurements for which an average is formed.
-
Value range: 0, 2, 4, 8, 16
- Factory setting: 0 (no average value formation)
5.4.2 Description
Forming an average of an adjustable number of measuring values helps to reduce measurement noise, and
thus increase the sensor’s reproducibility and resolution. This reduces the response speed, but the measur-
ing speed remains unaltered.
Floating average algorithm (average value sliding in one direction)
x-order average value: Y_n = (Yn + Yn-1 + Yn-2 +...+ Yn-x)/x
5.5 Switching Output Function
5.5.1 Parameter
Output function
switching output:
The function carried out on the switching output in the SIO-Mode can be defined.
-
Value range: 0, 1, 2
- Factory setting: 0 (Alarm)
5.5.2 Description
Process data status bits (alarm, switch bit, quality) can be applied to the sensor’s switching output. This al-
lows, for example, a soiled lens indicator to be utilized in the SIO mode. The factory setting at the switching
output indicates when the object lies outside the measurement range.
