Check the scanning conditions in the Controller window one more time, then click  [SCAN] .
Scanning starts.  (During scanning, the sensor may emit a transmission sound, but this is normal.)

Click [Begin Area Test].
The sensor moves to a position above an outer point on the scanning area that has been set.
Make sure the scan object that has been secured in place lies within the area.

center position.
If the target is displaced, redo the settings.
