TDS2024B—4-channel 200MHz/2GSps oscilloscope
Special care must be taken and the proper equipment must be used when testing the Santa Cruz design. The key to testing any
high-accuracy design is to use sources and measurement equipment that are higher accuracy than the design under test. The
equipment from Thorlabs and the Tektronix oscilloscope were appropriate equipment choices for these lab measurements.
Figure 7 shows how well Santa Cruz's readings match with changes in angle of incidence from both horizontal and vertical
rotation. These measurements were taken without a sensor enclosure lens and also without a sensor enclosure. Figure 8 shows
the Santa Cruz doing a 2ms cyclic data exchange with the IO-Link master. The Santa Cruz is robust in handling hot plug-in
events without failing, essential for every sensor, and shown in Figures 9–11.
