5.2 Sectors
The idea of a sector is to be seen in Figure 1. The result of a sector (minimum, maximum or average of
the pixels inside of a sector) is transferred as current to the analog outputs of the scanner.
Special sector commands serve to configure the analog current outputs. These commands also start with
a keyword followed by the “sector numbers” or “analog output numbers” 1, 2, or 3. Some of these
commands are applicable to digital interface parameters. The digital interface number is 0.

5.2.1 Sector Position (SL, SR)
The position of a sector within each line gets defined with the commands Sector Left SL and Sector
Right SR.
The parameters must be given as 3-digit angular positions with 0.1 degree resolution.
If VF0 is set (90° field-of-view), the values must be in the range between 00.0 and 90.0 degrees, with the
right edge equal or greater than the left edge.
If VF1 is set (45° field-of-view), the range is 00.0 to 45.0 degrees, see section 5.9.
Example: Set left margin of 2
