○ The CDX series sensor heads mentioned above are products to which limits on resolution have been added to enable their non-applicability to “Export Trade Control Order Appended Table 1 2-(12) Measurement devices.” For applicable products with no limited resolution, refer to here.
Measurement conditions
The measurement conditions are as follows unless otherwise designated:
Ambient temperature: 25°C (normal temperature), Supply voltage: 24 VDC, Sampling period: 50 μs, Moving average performed: 256, Median filter: 31, Center of measurement range,
Measurement target ([specular reflection: glass] for the 15 mm/30 mm type, [specular reflection: aluminum vapor deposition mirror] and [diffuse reflection: visible light shielding ceramic] for the 85 mm type) Furthermore, the sensor head is fixed in place with an aluminum jig when measurements are performed.
*1. The measurement range will become narrower when the sampling period is set to the maximum speed of 12.5 μs. Please use by selecting from Near/Center/Far below.
