4.6 Scan Analysis Mode Selection
The control module may be programmed, if desired, for any one or two of eight Scan
Analysis (measurement) Modes. Each selected mode may be assigned individually to
an output. The beams in the array are numbered in sequence, with beam #1 located at
the cabled end of the emitter and the receiver. Factory Default Scan Analysis Mode is
Disabled for both outputs #1 and #2; at least one output must be changed to another
option before System will operate.
“Beam Location” Modes
• First Beam Blocked (FBB): The control module identifies the location of the First
Beam Blocked.
• First Beam Made (FBM): The control module identifies the location of the First
Beam Made (unblocked).
• Last Beam Blocked (LBB): The control module identifies the location of the Last
Beam Blocked.
• Last Beam Made (LBM): The control module identifies the location of the Last
Beam Made (unblocked).
“Beam Total” Modes
• Total Beams Blocked (TBB): The control module totals the number of blocked
beams.
• Total Beams Made (TBM): The control module totals the number of made
(unblocked) beams.
• Contiguous Beams Blocked (CBB): The control module identifies the largest number
of consecutively blocked beams.
• Contiguous Beams Made (CBM): The control module identifies the largest number
of consecutively made beams.
The Analysis Mode(s) selected may be assigned to either or both of the available
outputs. Each output can be set for MEAS1, MEAS2, MEAS1 Inverted or MEAS2
Inverted. (The Invert option is selected separately from the MEAS1/MEAS 2
selection.)
