Ranger D Parameters
Parameter Description
Edit while
measuring
Number of col-
umns
Number of columns to acquire. This value must be a
multiple of 8.
256–1536 (Ranger D50). Default value: 1536.
256–512 (Ranger D40). Default value: 512.
Trig mode Triggering mode:
0 = Free-running/No triggering
2 = Pulse triggering (legacy).
Scan only when the object is in a position that has
not been scanned before. More sensitive to vibra-
tions (jittering), but can be used with only one en-
coder phase.
3 = Position mode.
Scan only when the object is in a position that has
not been scanned before. Robust to vibrations (jit-
ter).
4 = Direction mode.
Scan when the object is moving forward. The forward
direction is set by Encoder direction. Robust to vi-
brations (jitter).
5 = Motion mode.
Scan whenever the object moves, regardless of di-
rection. Robust to vibrations (jitter).
Default value 0.
Number of pulses
per trig
Only valid for pulse triggering (Trig mode = 2).
Values: 1–65535
Encoder direction Specifies which direction is the forward direction.
Only relevant when Trig mode is set to 3 (Position) or 4
(Direction).
0 = Standard.
1 = Reversed.
Use enable Specifies whether or not to use the enable signal for
starting measurements.
Default value 0.
0 = Disabled
1 = Level sensitive
2 = Rising flank sensitive
3 = Level sensitive with guaranteed end of scan in mark.
Guarantees that the last buffer delivered before the
camera stops will contain at least one scan where
the Enable flag in the Mark data is set to 0.
Scan height Number of scans delivered per buffer when Use enable
is set to 1. Values: 1–65535
This value should be the same as the number of profiles
in each buffer, as set for the FrameGrabber object in the
application.
When using Ranger Studio remember to set this parame-
ter equal to “Lines per frame” in the Options->Frame
Grabber options.

plete Object In One Image” in the Ranger Studio chapter.
