Tracking Window
The Gocator can track a relatively flat object in real-time to achieve very high scan rates. This feature
tracks the object height using a small window that moves dynamically to cover a larger measurement
range. You can balance the gain in speed and the tracking ability by configuring the size of the tracking
area. This feature is typically used in road or web scanning applications where the target is a continuous
flat surface.
A laser line remains tracked as long as the percentage of detected laser points exceeds the user-defined
search threshold. When the sensor loses track of the laser line, the sensor will search for the laser line
using the full active area.
To enable the tracking window:
1. Go to the Scan page.
2. Choose Profile or Surface mode in the Scan Mode panel.
If one of these modes is not selected, you will not be able to set the tracking window.
3. Expand the Sensor panel by clicking on the panel header.
4. Click on the Active Area tab.
