The “Circuit” page displays parameters which may be useful during gauge alignment or for
Proton Products authorized service personnel; when contacting Proton Products for technical
assistance, please have the information displayed on the “Circuit” page available for our service
personnel to better diagnose any problems.
The gauge attempts to sample the speed of the
object several thousand times per second; the
“Good Reading” rate represents the proportion of
samples that have yielded a valid speed reading.
Higher “Good Reading” rates result in better length
accuracy, especially over shorter object lengths.
If the surface of the object is irregular then different
areas may yield different “Good Reading” rates.
For smooth surfaces a “Good Reading” rate above
50% will produce speed and length readings of
reliably high accuracy.
In short-length measurement applications (such as
inkjet-marking or cutting, with lengths in the range
of a few metres), a “Good Reading” rate of above
80% is recommended to maintain good length
accuracy.
