Note 6: Beam Width Targets are from left to right 0.6cm
dia., 2.5cm dia., & 8.9cm dia. Part to part beam widths scale
is approximately equal. Black line is 5V, red dot is 3.3V.
Note 4: Part Similarities The MB12XX and MB13XX parts
have the same operational characteristics except the
MB12XX parts have pulse width output and the MB13XX
have the real-time analog envelope of the wave form.
Part Number Selection
This section is designed to help users select the right part
number for their application. Use the beam width and
analog envelope output to compare the products and select
the best sensor for your application.
Note 5: Part Similarities The MB706X and MB707X
part(s) have the same operational characteristics except
the MB706X parts have pulse width output and the
MB707X have the real-time analog envelope of the wave
form.
