Introduction to OndoControl

After connecting the sensor to your computer and entering its IP address in your browser’s address bar, the OndoControl user interface will appear as shown below.

If the page does not load, check your PC’s Ethernet settings:

Direct connection: Set the LAN port to an IP address in the 10.10.42.xx range and use the default IP 10.10.42.2 (No DHCP!).
Via PLC network: Assign an IP address that matches your PLC network.

Sensor Configuration
Spectrum Chart	Standard	Shows the signals received by the sensor over the measuring range. Note that the amplitude scale has arbitrary units
Distance Chart	Standard	Displays the measured distance over time
Measurement Range	Standard	All signals received from outside the specified measuring range will be ignored.
Threshold (Offset)	Standard	Sets a constant signal amplitude threshold over the complete distance.
Peak Selection	Advanced	Select the peak sorting methode and select the peak you need for your measurement task.
Adjust Signal Amplification	Standard	Find the best amplifier parameter values.
Distance Offset	Advanced	This value is added to the distance value.
Filter	Advanced	Filters sudden distance measurement jumps.
Smoothing	Advanced	Applies an exponential averaging.
Add Hold	Standard	Freezes or unfreezes the magnitude data.
Fix scale	Standard	Freezes or unfreezes the automatic scaling of the y-axis.
