Measuring with Multiple Amplifier Units
This section describes the settings when Calculating Units are used to connect multiple
Amplifier Units.
Performing Calculations
Measurement results can be calculated between 2 Amplifier Units. The expression is
set on the CH2 Amplifier Unit and the calculation results are also output from the CH2
Amplifier Unit. Calculations can also be performed between Sensors with different
measurement distances.
The 3 types of expressions are outlined in the following table.
The response time for CH2 Amplifier Units to which expressions have been set is increased by
1.0 ms. The response time is also influenced by the setting for the number of samples to average, so
the response time will be the response time based on the set number of samples to average +
1.0 ms.
Setting Number of Samples to Average, p. 80
ZX-L-series (Laser Type) Amplifier Units cannot perform calculations.
