8.1.6 Activating/deactivating the fog filter
The fog filter results in the blanking of false echoes caused by fog on the measurement
sec
tion. Activating the filter results in a reduced level of detection sensitivity at close
range (up to approx. 20 m).
The fog filter does not affect the response time of the sensor. Should the application
not need a fog filter, deactivating it is recommended to ensure the maximum possible
detection sensitivity. This is recommended in particular when using the optional addi‐
tional filter for high-temperature applications. When using the additional filter and the
fog filter is activated at the same time, it might be necessary to increase the measure‐
ment cycle time.

8.2.1 Configuring the distance averaging filter
The distance average filter carries out a moving averaging method for reducing the
measured value noise. The moving average results in an increased response time of
the distance sensor. The average filter is recommended in particular for applications
for which erratic distance changes can occur, for example for objects or reflectors
entering the light beam from the side.
Using the average filter deactivates the Kalman filter.
