Measurement range

Limit the measurement range to the specific area of interest for your application.

The Measurement Range should be limited to the area of interest. It is the most effective way to avoid undesired interference signals from the surroundings. It can be changed in the Settings panel on the right (a). To save the changes use the set button. The values do not get saved automatically.

The first peak shown in the spectrum below is the self-reflection of the sensor (b). As it comes from the sensor itself and not from the target it should not be taken into account during the measurement. This can be avoided by adjusting the lower end of the measuring range to a higher value.

If you know the object you want to measure the distance to will always be located at a distance between 1m and 5 m, it is recommended to limit the measuring range to approximately 0.8m and 5.2 m. Any signals originating from objects at distances below the minimal distance or above the maximum distance will be ignored, leading to more robust measurement results in production.
