can generate pulses whose frequency are proportional to the sensor's measured distance, thereby providing a
method for representing an analog signal with only a discrete counter. The sensing range of the sensor is scaled from
100 Hz to 600 Hz. 100 Hz equals the near range limit of the sensor, and 600 Hz equals the far sensing range limit. An
output of 50 Hz or 650 Hz (user defined in the software) represents a loss of signal condition where there is no target or
the target is out of range. This output can be tied directly to a number of Banner lights for visual feedback without the
need for a controller.
100 Hz:
Define the near sensing range limit of the Pulse Pro range.
600 Hz
: Define the far sensing range limit of the Pulse Pro range.
Loss–of–Signal
: Sets the value used by the sensor during a loss of signal. When a signal is restored, measurement
resumes.
Hold last value—The Discrete 2 Output holds the last value indefinitely during a loss of signal.
50 Hz—The Discrete 2 Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal.
650 Hz—The Discrete 2 Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal.
After connecting to the sensor, data sampling begins automatically (but not recording).
To stop data sampling, click
Stop.
To restart data sampling, click
Play. This only samples data from the sensor and displays it on the plot; it does not record
the data to a log file.
To record data to a log file, click
Record. The log file selection prompt displays. Save the log file as desired. The log file
format is .csv.
If communication to the sensor is lost, click
Refresh Device Connection to reconnect.
