1.2 Important terms
Tab.1.4: Important terms
Accuracy Maximum expected deviation of the measurement value between the de-
termined and real distance value within the specified measurement range.
Resolution Smallest representable change in measurement value, distance and
speed.
Warmup time Time the sensor needs in order to reach the operating temperature. An op-
timal measurement is only possible after the end of the warmup time.
The warmup time is approximately 20minutes.
Output resolution The output resolution describes how the measurement values are pre-
sented on the display and digital interfaces.
The output resolution of the ODS10 is 1mm and cannot be changed.
Readiness delay The delay before start-up indicates the point in time when the first valid
measurement can be obtained after switching on.
Light switching
Dark switching
The behavior of the switching output if an object is within the taught/config-
ured switching distance.
• Light switching: switching output active (high)
• Dark switching: switching output not active (low)
Response time
(Response time)
Also integration time or measurement time. Maximum length of time from
the occurrence of an erratic change in distance to the steady state of the
measurement value.
The response time depends on the set average calculation. Although the
average calculation increases the response time, it also improves repro-
ducibility.
Output time
(Output time)
Time interval of measurement value updating at the interface.
Data storage
IO-Link data storage
Data memory of the connected IO-Link master.
DSUpload Data Storage Upload.
Upload to the data memory of the connected IO-Link master.
Diffuse reflection Return and/or degree of reflection of the radiated light. In the case of sen-
sors with the time-of-flight measurement principle, the measurement range
depends on the reflectance.
Observe the specifications regarding diffuse reflection (see chapter 12
"Technical data").
• 90% is white
• 6% is black
Time-of-Flight Distance measurement procedures that determines the distance of an ob-
ject via the propagation time of a light pulse emitted by the sensor's trans-
mitter that is reflected by the object and received by the sensor's receiver.
Reproducibility Also repeatability. Deviation of multiple measurement results relative to
each other under identical conditions. Dependent on the measurement dis-
tance and the diffuse reflection of the measurement object.
The reproducibility can be considered as the measure of measurement
value noise and is affected by the configuration of the response time.

The measure mode is set according to the given requirements and the application via the display or using
the configuration software SensorStudio.
The measure modes differ with respect to the response times of the sensor. Generally speaking, the higher
the response time is, the more precise the measurement result will be.
• A higher response time presupposes the possibility of measuring an object for a longer period.
• The measurement results are output at the interface every 3.4ms, irrespective of the set measure
mode (except in the Outlier suppression measure mode).
In the table, you will find an overview of how the choice of measure mode affects the individual parameters
of the measurement function.

Measure mode Individual
The user can set the sensor response time required for the application:
• The user sets the number of measurements via the display or using the configuration software Sen-
sorStudio , e.g. 50measurements.
• Each measurement takes 3.4 ms.
• Sensor response time:
50x3.4ms=170ms
Measure mode Outlier suppression
Measurement results with excessively high or low measurement values (referred to as "outliers" or
"spikes") are suppressed or rejected according to the set filter depth.
• The user sets the number of measurements via the display or using the configuration software Sen-
sorStudio .
• The sensor performs the set number of measurements on the object, e.g. 100 measurements.
Due to physical reasons, the measurement results are not all the same. The measurement values have a
scatter which corresponds to a normal distribution comprising a large number of similar measurement val-
ues and a small number of excessively high or low measurement values (outliers, spikes).
The suppression or rejection of the measurement value outliers is configured in the following levels using
the filter depth.
• Coarse: A large number of measurement values which do not occur with a high frequency are sup-
pressed or rejected.
• Falling on one side: 12%
• Used center area, averaged: 76%

NOTICE
In the case of dynamic applications with erratic changes in measurement distance, it is recom-
mended to filter by setting the response time (Individual measure mode).
