34 Rev. E3 07/2013 MP150
• The maximum size of a sector is 90°.
• The corresponding analog output will remain inactive if the sector size is 0.
• Each sector can have either a maximum, minimum, or mean output value.
• Each sector is assigned to an analog interface.
• The output range can be adjusted to any value between 0-20mA.
• The analog interfaces are potential-free, but have a common ground connection
6.3 Data Transfer Modes
After each scan, the temperature values are transferred through the serial or the Ethernet interface to a
computer. This computer will require either DataTemp software or custom software for data analysis.
The data transfer can be achieved through one of two methods (selected by the user):
• Snapshot mode (discontinuous mode): The lines are scanned at the set sampling rate and are
subsequently stored in the internal memory of the linescanner (capacity: 700 lines). After
completing the snapshot, all lines are transferred through the digital interface. When measuring
discrete objects, it may be advantageous to use the trigger input of the linescanner to initiate the
image capture. The trigger signal can be generated by a voltage/switch indicating the approach of
an object from the production process into the linescanner field-of-view, see section 5.11 Input
and Output Connectors on page 29 for more information.
• Image mode (continuous mode): One line is scanned and transferred through the digital
interface immediately. The duration of the data transfer is determined by the maximum interface
speed. These factors determine whether every line is transferred.
6.4 Scanner as Stand-Alone Device
The scanner is equipped with internal sectors supporting three analog outputs and the alarm relay. To
configure the scanner as stand-alone device without having a computer software running follow the
steps given below:
1. Launch the DTDP Configurator.
2. Configure the scanner’s standard settings like scan speed and pixel count.
3. Configure the internal sectors on the Configurator’s <Device Sector> page.
Please note, the software sectors under the <Sector> page are not supported with a scanner in the
stand-alone mode.
The DTDP software sends a <PS> command automatically to the scanner if at least one scanner
internal sector is detected.
4. Launch the DTDP software one times to transfer all the parameters into the scanner. Afterwards,
the DTDP software can be exit and the scanner runs as stand-alone device.
