2. Select a sensor in the Visible Sensors list.
3. Click the Assign button.
A sensor can only be assigned as a Buddy if its firmware and model number match the firmware and
model number of the Main sensor. The Assign button will be greyed out if a sensor cannot be assigned
as a Buddy.
The Buddy sensor is assigned to the Main sensor and its status is updated in the System panel.
To remove a Buddy, click Remove.
Exposure Multiplexing
If the Main and Buddy sensors are mounted such that the camera from one sensor can detect the laser
from the other sensor, the Exposure Multiplexing option can be used to eliminate laser interference.
This setting creates a time offset for laser exposures and ensures that interfering lasers are not strobed
at the same time. Using the Exposure Multiplexing option may reduce the maximum frame rate.
To enable/disable exposure multiplexing:
1. Go to the Manage page and click on the Sensor System category.
2. In the Layout section, check/uncheck the Exposure Multiplexing option.
This option is only displayed if a buddy is assigned.
Over Temperature Protection
Sensors equipped with a 3B-N laser by default will turn off the laser if the temperature exceeds the safe
operating range. You can override the setting by disabling the overheat protection.
Disabling the setting is not recommended. Disabling the overheat protection feature could lead
to premature laser failure if the sensor operates outside the specified temperature range.
