Q3X Laser Contrast Sensor

In Run mode, the 3-digit, 7-segment display provides real time information about signal strength for all models and target position for models with a fixed background suppression distance. The numeric value of 0 to 990 represent the amount of the received light divided by the threshold, and represents the excess gain of the sensing event expressed as a percentage of the switch point. This value is called normalized signal strength (NSS). A NSS display range of 999 indicates a saturated received light signal, meaning that low contrast detection is not possible.
In single threshold teach modes (Two-Point Static, Dynamic, Light Set, or Dark Set), the output switches at a displayed value of 100 (excess gain of 1.0).
