SICK microScan3 User Manual

Measurement method
•
Use e
very single distance value: Each scan of the surrounding contour is used individu‐
ally to draw the field.
•
Use median of distance values: The median of the last 25 scans is used to draw the
field.
Type of teach-in
•
Onl
y allow reduction: The shortest measured distance is used at each angle. If you
walk along the borders of the imaginary field and, e.g., hold a board or cardboard
into the laser beam, this restricts the surrounding contour.
•
Allow expansion: The surrounding contour is used as it is measured.
Automatic reduction
Y
ou can specify that the proposed field is drawn smaller than the measured surround‐
ing contour so that the field will be at a distance from walls. The default value corre‐
sponds to the TZ value (tolerance zone of the safety laser scanner).
Smoothing by point reduction
T
he proposed contour may initially be uneven and consist of very many points. With the
Smoothing by point reduction option, you can reduce the number of points and simplify the
lines.
