Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual

Parameter Description
Base Type Affects detection of rising and falling edges.
When Base Type is set to Flat, both strip (raised area)and base support regions are needed.
When set to None, only a point that deviates from a smooth strip support region is needed to
find a rising or falling edge.
Left Edge
Right Edge
Specifies the features that will be considered as the strip's left and right edges. You can select
more than one condition.
Rising - Rising edge detected based on the strip edge parameters.
Falling - Falling edge detected based on the strip edge parameters.
Data end - First valid profile data point in the measurement region.
Void - Gap in the data that is larger than the maximum void threshold. Gaps connected to the
measurement region's boundary are not considered as a void.
See "Strip Start and Terminate Conditions" in the Gocator Measurement Tool Technical Manual for
the definitions of these conditions.
Tilt Enabled Enables/disables tilt correction.
The strip may be tilted with respect to the sensor's coordinate X axis. This can be caused by
conveyor vibration. If the Tilt option is enabled, the tool will report the width and height
measurements following the tilt angle of the strip.
Support Width Specifies the width of the region around the edges from which the data is used to calculate the
step change. See "Strip Step Edge Definitions" in the Gocator Measurement Tool Technical Manual
on how this parameter is used by different base types.
