OMP400 basics
Switch-on / switch off methods
The following switch-on / switch-off options are user-configurable.
1. Optical on / Optical off.
2. Optical on / Timer off.
NOTE: A visual indication of currently selected probe settings is provided, on battery insertion, by the
three multicoloured LEDs located within the probe's window (see Section 4 - Trigger Logic™).
Enhanced trigger filter
Probes subjected to high levels of vibration or shock loads may output signals without having
contacted any surface. The enhanced trigger filter improves the probe's resistance to these effects.
When the filter is enabled, a constant 8 or 16 ms delay is introduced to the probe's output. The probe
is factory set to 8 ms. If false triggering is noticed then consider increasing the filter delay to 16 ms.
NOTES:
It may be necessary to reduce the probe's approach speed to allow for increased stylus overtravel
during the extended time delay.
Whilst there is also a 0 ms setting, this is for Renishaw's use only. Renishaw does not recommend that
you use this setting as false triggering is likely to occur.
