4.3.2.3  Hysteresis Width 
The hysteresis is configured in percent of the switch point distance. It is the difference between switch point 
and reset point (see Figure 11). This parameter can be beneficial to smoothen out signals when samples 
have quickly changing positions. 
Figure 11 Hysteresis is the difference between switch point and reset point 
-  Bright blue: object moving from far to close distance (in this case switch point) 
-  Dark blue: moving from close to far distance (in this case reset point)

4.3.2.4  Hysteresis Alignment Mode 
In case of axial detection tasks like stop trigger or level detection, an accurate switching distance is required.  
To adapt the switching behavior and the hysteresis to the movement direction of the object, the alignment of 
the hysteresis can be changed. 
Hysteresis settings are available for .P, D and .R types.
