SENSIT (Sensivity):
Controls the level of amplicaon applied the returning target echoes (signals).
The sensivity seng is expressed as a percentage; 0 to 100%.
PULSES:
Controls the number of sound wave pulses sent in each ultrasonic burst. The
greater the number of pulses, the stronger the transmied signal. Range: 0 to
20 pulses.
bLANK (Blanking):
Sets the distance, beginning at the sensor face, to the point where target signals
will be accepted. All targets closer than the blanking distance will be ignored.
The blanking should never be set to less than the minimum range specicaon
of the sensor. If the target enters the blanking area, reading errors will occur.
GAIN C (Gain Control):
Determines how the sensor applies gain to the returning target echoes.
Manual: Sensivity and Pules remain constant.
Autosense: the sensor connually adjusts the Pulses and Sensivity (within
the set parameter bounds) in order to opmize the signal strength.
*Hard Target: used for highly reecve targets. Targets echoes at close
range are amplied less.
*So Target: used for harder to detect targets. Targets at close range are
amplied more.
*So-Auto: autosense using the so target gain rate.
(*available with MNU sensors only)
AVERAG (Averaging):
Denes the number of target readings that will be averaged together to become
the displayed reading. Each qualied target reading (see Filter Window and
Out of Range Samples on next page) is placed into a rst-in, rst-out buer and
averaged with previous readings. A higher Averaging will result in smoother
readings, but will also slow the response to rapid changes in the target distance.
