Sectors
Via the processor box the linescanner is able to support multiple analog outputs. Each output can be
assigned to a ”sector” within the 90° scan angle. For each sector, the type of result (maximum,
minimum, or mean value) can be selected. Each sector result can drive an alarm output in case of
violating a given threshold.
The output range can be configured for either 0 ... 20 mA, 4 ... 20 mA, or custom configured by user
settings. The sector size and the emissivity value can be set for each sector, even if the sectors overlap.
(In the case of overlapping sectors, the higher emissivity is given priority.) To use the sector function,
the linescanner must run in the continuous mode.
Use the Configurator of the scanner software to configure the analog outputs!
