Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
How Gocator Works • 55
The mounting direction, relative to the direction of travel, can be set in Gocator using either the Normal
or Reverse layout. For more information, see Layout on page 84.
System Coordinates
Aligning sensors adjusts the coordinate system in relation to sensor coordinates using transformations
(offsets along the axes and rotations around the axes).
Alignment is used with a single sensor to compensate for mounting misalignment and to set a zero
reference, such as a conveyor belt surface.
Alignment is also used to set a common coordinate system for multi-sensor systems. That is, scan data
and measurements from the sensors are expressed in a unified coordinate system.
