1.2 System Features
Built-infeaturessimplifytheoperationoftheA-GAGEMINI-ARRAYSystem.Emittersand
receivers,availableinachoiceoftworesolutionsand10lengths,providetherightsize
andprecisionneededformanyapplications.Programmablebeamblanking

Built-indiagnosticprogrammingandeasy-to-seeindicatorsonthesensorsandthe
controlmodulesimplifyalignmentandtroubleshooting(Figure1-2).Theemitterhasa

TheA-GAGEMINI-ARRAYSystemprovidesawideselectionofsensingandoutput
options,including:measurement(“scananalysis”)modes;scanningmethodsthatcan
determinethetargetobject’slocation,overallsize,totalheightortotalwidth;and
numerousoutputoptions.Scanningmaybecontinuousorcontrolledbyahost

Blankingfeatureallowstheusertoconfigureanynumberofbeamstobe“blanked.”In
effect,blankingcausestheaffectedbeamstobemade“blind”toactivitywithinthe
array.
