3.9 Measurement of objects
3.9.1 Basic parameters
The LMS5xx PRO/Heavy Duty scans with a scanning frequency of 25 up to 100 Hz or with
an angular resolution of 0.1667° up to 1°. The LMS5xx Lite offers a reduced set of possible
combinations.
At a higher scanning frequency or a finer angular resolution the LMS5xx supplies more
measured values. The following tables give an overview of the possible configurations.
PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, BASIC PARAMETERS, areas CURRENT CONFIGURATION and NEW
CONFIGURATION.
Important The LMS5xx outputs the data after the start of the measurement using the same
interface over which the measured values were requested.
It is only possible to output all measured values of a scan in real-time using the Ethernet
interface.
