upper computer to facilitate the analysis on the image in [4]; clicking [CLEAR] button
will clear the plotted curve in [4] and start plotting anew.
③ Data Amount (average of the total data amount): the default value is 5, that is, for
every 5 points received by the upper computer, the average value of the 5 points will
be taken for the output of a point. It can be modified as needed (in order to prevent
blocking of the upper computer, the value had better be greater than or equal to 5).
Enter the value and send the command by pressing Enter key on the keyboard.
④ Device Command (serial port command sending area): this window can be used to

③ Strength (signal strength): In pix mode, the default Strength is 0 because there is no
strength input.
6) Range scale: with real-time display of the detected distance value according to the current
product type.
