Measured value output
5.2 Request measured values
After switching on the supply voltage, the TiM5xx initializes and the green LED will light up
to indicate its readiness for operation.
The TiM5xx begins its readiness to measure automatically. It continuously scans the sur-
rounding contour in its field of vision at a frequency of 15 Hz. It continuously saves the val-
ues determined in each measuring process (scan) in its measured value memory by
overwriting the previous values.
5.2.1 Single measured value output
If the data from a measuring process are required, the TiM5xx sends the measured values
from the most recent scan.
