Ranger E Parameters
Parameter Description Edit while
measuring
Gain direct Factor to amplify the analog sensor data from the direct
area before AD conversion.
Values: 1, 3, 4. Default value: 1 (No amplification).
x
Enable scatter Used for activating or deactivating measurement in the
scatter region.
0 = Deactivated
1 = Activated
Offset from direct
line(s)
Number of rows from the last row of the direct region to
the scatter region.
Values: 0–510. Default value 5.
x
Number of rows
scatter
Number of rows to acquire scatter data from.
Values: 1–16. Default value: 1.
x
Dual-sided Whether or not to measure scatter on both sides of the
direct area. Default value: 1.
0 = Measure scatter below the direct area only.
1 = Measure scatter both above and below the direct
area.
x
Exposure time
scatter
The time in microseconds during which the scatter
region of the sensor is exposed to light. Must be greater
than "Exposure time direct".
Values: 10–50 000. Default value: 1 000.
x
Gain scatter Factor to amplify the analog sensor data from the scat-
ter area before AD conversion.
Values: 1, 3, 4. Default value: 1 (No amplification).

7.5.9 Color and HiRes color
The Color and HiRes color components measure the intensity along three separate color
filtered areas across the sensor, using it as a line scan sensor that measures red, green
and blue light simultaneously. There are two sets of color filters on two separate regions of
the sensor with differences in both pixel and color filter characteristics (see sections
related to color in the Hardware Description chapter for details).
 The HiRes color component uses the high-resolution color rows above row 0 on the
sensor with full 3072 pixels resolution.
 The Color component uses either the color filtered rows on the standard sensor region
or every other pixel from the high-resolution rows at reduced resolution. The selection is
done by a parameter setting.
