light influences
3.5.6 Object sizes
As the distance from the device increases, the laser beam expands. As a result, the
diameter of the light spot on the surface of the object increases.

Values required to calculate the light spot size:
•
Light spot size on the device cover: 7 mm (rounded up)
•
Divergence of 1 light spot: 0.59 deg (10.4 mrad)
•
HDDM+ supplement (1 spot comprises several superimposed individual pulses):
0.50 deg (8.7 mrad)
Formula for calculating the light spot width:
(Light spot divergence [mrad] + HDDM+ supplement [mrad]) x distance [mm] + light
spot size on the device cover [mm] = light spot width [mm]
Example calculation of the light spot width at a distance of 16 m (16,000 mm):
(10.4 mrad + 8.7 mrad) * 16,000 mm + 7 mm = 312.6 mm
Formula for calculating the height of the light spot:
Light spot divergence [mrad] x Distance [mm] + Light spot height at the n device cover
[mm] = Light spot width [mm]
Example calculation of the light spot height at a distance of 16 m (1,600 mm):
10.4 mrad * 16,000 mm + 7 mm = 173.4 mm
Formula for calculating the minimum object size:
(Light spot divergence [mrad] + angular resolution [mrad]) x distance [mm] + light spot
height on the device cover [mm] = minimum object size [mm]
Example calculation of the minimum object size at a distance of 16 m (16,000 mm):
Angular resolution: 0.25° -> 4.4 mrad
