available:
o
Sequential: Continuously
generates back-to-back fixed
length surfaces.
o
External Input: A pulse on the
digital input triggers the
generation of a single surface of
fixed length.
For more information on
connecting external input to a
Gocator sensor, see Digital Input on
page 769.
You can optionally enable part
detection to process the surface
after it has been generated, but the
generation itself does not depend
on the detection logic. To do this,
check Enabled in the Part
Detection panel.
Variable Length: The sensor
generates surfaces of variable
length. Profiles collected while the
external digital input is held high are
combined to form a surface. If the
value of the Max Length setting is
reached while external input is still
high, the next surface starts
immediately with the next profile.
This mode is typically used in robot-
mounted applications, for example,
measuring different parts on an
engine block.
For correct length measurement,
you should ensure that motion is
calibrated (i.e., encoder resolution
for encoder triggers or travel speed
for time triggers).

connecting external input to a
Gocator sensor, see Digital Input on
