2. Settings Explanation
2.1. Averaging: Averaging will steady the display of measurements. The default setting is a rolling
average of 25 measurements. The rolling average will add the latest reading to the back of the
averaging list and remove the first reading from the front of the averaging list so that the
averaging list always contains the latest 25 measurements. These measurements are then
averaged before display. The batch average will average measurements in groups of 25 before
display. Averaging can delay the display of the latest average value as the averaging list is que’d
and de-que’d. To reduce this effect, lower the average readings value. To turn off averaging, set
the mode to ‘off’.
2.2. Thickness mode: Thickness mode uses two lasers to measure the thickness of a target. It
operates in two modes, sum and difference. In sum mode, the thickness is calculated by
summing the values of two laser measurements pointed at opposite sides of the target. In
difference mode one laser is used to track the zero-point of the target (e.g.: roller surface or
conveyor belt), the other laser is used to track the measurement of the target on top of the
zero-point. The thickness of the target is determined by the difference in the target
measurement and the zero-point measurement.
2.3. Distance and Thickness limits: Distance limits (non-thickness mode) or Thickness limits
(thickness mode) can be specified to change the color of the measurement display in four
scenarios:
2.3.1. Upper limit (Upper lim): When measurement is equal or greater than upper limit, the
measurement color will be red.
2.3.2. Upper limit (Upper warn): When measurement is equal or greater than upper warn, the
measurement color will be orange.
2.3.3. Upper limit (Lower warn): When measurement is equal or less than lower warn, the
measurement color will be orange.
2.3.4. Upper limit (Lower lim): When measurement is equal or less than lower limit, the
measurement color will be red.
3. Calibration
3.1. From the Measure screen, press the Start button to begin measuring.
3.2. Single or dual laser non-thickness mode calibration:
3.2.1. Press the Calibrate button in the appropriate measurement pane.
3.2.2. Point the laser to the zero position and press OK.
3.2.3. Place an object of know measurement value under the laser and press OK, then enter the
known value.
3.2.4. Repeat steps 2.2.1 through 2.2.3 for the other laser (if applicable).
3.3. Dual laser thickness mode calibration:
3.3.1. Sum function mode
3.3.1.1. Press the Calibrate button in the measurement pane.
3.3.1.2. Place a calibration block between the lasers and press OK. Then enter the known
thickness.
3.3.1.3. You will then be asked “Would you like to sample an additional calibration
block?”. Choose Yes to sample another calibration block. Choose No to accept the
