Ranger D Parameters
Figure 6.1 – A profile from the Image component contains one row of the sensor image.
The following parameters can be set for the Image component:
Parameter Description
Edit while
measuring
Enable Used for backward compatibility.
Should always be set to 1.
Measurement ROI
overlay
Specifies whether or not the ROI for the Hi3D compo-
nent in the measurement configuration should be shown
in the image. Default value 0.
0 = do not show ROI
1 = show the measurement component’s ROI
x
Start row The first sensor row to acquire data from.
Values: 0–511. Default value: 0.
Number of rows Number of rows to acquire data from.
Values: 1–512. Default value: 512.
Exposure time Time in microseconds during which the sensor is ex-
posed to light.
Values: 10–200 000. Default value: 10 000.
x
Gain Factor to amplify the analog sensor data before AD
conversion.
Values: 1, 3, 4. Default value: 1 (No amplification).
x
Image speed Upper bound on the data rate in Megabit/second
Values: 5-50, Default value 50.
6.4 Measurement Configuration
The measurement configuration is used for 3D measurements with the Ranger. It contains
one measurement component – High-resolution 3D (DCM), and is limited to 1000 profiles
per second in free-running mode.
The following parameters can be set for the measurement configuration:
Parameter Description
Edit while
measuring
When Trig mode = 0
(Free-running)
The time in microseconds -
between each measurement.
When Trig mode = 2
(Pulse triggering)
The shortest possible time -
between two measurements.
Cycle time
Default value: 3000 microseconds.
1000-50000 microseconds.
x
Start column The first sensor column to acquire data from.
0–1280 (Ranger D50).
0–256 (Ranger D40).
