3.4.1 User interface
In normal operation the laser measurement system operates fully automatically without the
intervention of an operator.
The interactive configuration is carried out using the provided SOPAS ET configuration
software. The software used for this purpose runs on a PC that is connected to the LMS via
one of the interfaces.
Use the graphic scan view in SOPAS ET to verify the generated measured values and to
verify the measurement area online. During this process, note that the field evaluation
monitor cannot display the data in real-time and therefore does not display all measured
values.
Variant Special features
All • field of view maximum 190°
• resolution of the angular step width: 0.167/0.25/0.33/0.5/0.66/1°
• rotation frequency 25/35/50/75/100 Hz
• flexible system configurations
• configuration/measured value request using messages (command
strings)
• data interfaces Ethernet, RSF232/-422, USB, CAN
Measured value output (raw data)
• electro-sensitive, active measurement technique
• measurement of objects with almost any shape

measurement through a window
Integrated field application
• 10 configurable evaluation fields
• monitoring of the evaluation field contours
• switching of the evaluation fields using digital inputs
• encoder inputs
