Ranger E Parameters
Parameter Description
Edit while
measuring
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.
See also the explanation in the section “Getting a Com-
plete Object In One Image” in the Ranger Studio chapter.
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.
When acquiring color data with a ColorRanger E, Mark
with should be set to 2 (Extended mark Position) or 3
(Extended mark Motion).
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.
