Ranger D Parameters
Parameter Description
Edit while
measuring
Mark Specifies whether or not to include encoder values and
input status information in the scan.
0 = No values included.
1 = Include encoder values and status information.
Mark with Specifies which value to send as the mark value; the
number of pulses on the encoder signal, or the number
of scans made by the Ranger.
0 = Mark with number of encoder signal pulses.
1 = Mark with number of scans made by the Ranger.
2 = Extended mark Position.
The mark value reflects the position of the encoder –
it is increased when the encoder moves forward and
decreased when the encoder moves backwards. The
Encoder direction parameter sets the positive direc-
tion. Allows accurately tracking of the position of an
object moving both forwards and backwards
3 = Extended mark Motion.
The mark value reflects the motion of the encoder –
it is increased regardless of the encoder direction.
Allows accurately tracking of the distance that an ob-
ject has traveled.
Default value 0.
Mark reset Specifies when to reset the mark position value.
0 = Reset mark every time the Ranger measurement is
started by the PC.
1 = Reset mark every time a measurement is started
with the Enable signal.
Default value 0.
High-resolution 3D (DCM)
The High-resolution 3D component measures range using an algorithm similar to center-of-
gravity, and measures range with a resolution of 1/16
th
pixel.
The following parameters can be set for the Hi3D measurement component:

Enable Used for activating or deactivating this component in the
configuration.
0 = Deactivated
1 = Activated
Start row The first sensor row to acquire data from.
Values: 0–511. Default value: 0.
Number of rows The number of rows to acquire algorithm data from.
Values: 16, 32, 48, 64, …, 512 (other values will be
truncated to closest lower multiple of 16). Default value:
512.
Range axis Specifies whether to measure the range from the bottom
or the top of the ROI. Default value: 0.
0 = Highest value at top of ROI
1 = Highest value at bottom of ROI
x
Exposure time The time in microseconds during which the sensor is
exposed to light.
Values: 10–50 000. Default value: 5 000.
