If no dimensions can be calculated, this may be because the system parameterization
does not match the physical conditions.
▸
Check the trigger control settings in the MSC800. The trigger must be set to
Active Low.
▸
Check whether the encoder parameters entered for the MSC800 are consistent with
the VMC800 parameters.
▸
Check the configuration of the master LMS. The master LMS must receive the encoder
signal.
 Check that the time stamp has been activated.
6.6 Optimizing the measurement results
If necessary, the measurement results can be optimized even further.
The length measurement (x-coordinate) is adjusted by changing the encoder resolution in
the Encoder Resolution field under ALISDIM

Parameter

Increment Configuration.
• If the measurement result is greater than the actual length value, reduce the resolution
(e.g., by 0.05 mm).
• If the measurement result is smaller, increase the resolution accordingly.
The width measurement is adjusted by changing the y-coordinate for the volume
measurement devices under ALISDIM

Parameter

External Sensors.
• If the measurement result is smaller than the actual width value, reduce the
Y coordinate of Sensor 1 and increase the Y coordinate of Sensor 2.
• If the measurement result is greater, do the opposite.
▸
NOTE! Adjust the two sensors symmetrically by decreasing or increasing the
Y coordinate of each by the same value.
▸
When adding/subtracting, pay attention to the signs of the Y coordinates.
The width measurement is adjusted by changing the Z coordinate for the volume
measurement devices under ALISDIM

Parameter

External Sensors.
• If the measurement result is smaller than the actual height value, reduce the
Z coordinates of both sensors by the same value.
• If the measurement result is greater, increase the Z coordinate.
