2 GENERAL SURVEY
The following text describes the configuration and operation of the ODAC series
measuring heads or computer interface CI 1J used with the new ZUMBACH
measurement processors type CP.016. The communication with the host computer
can be established through a serial connection of the RS-232/RS-422 type or Ethernet
with the TCP/IP protocol.
The intelligence of the supplied software is as high as possible. This significantly

reduces the measurement processing load of the connected host computer (distributed
processing).
Operation and communications are controlled via two completely separate interfaces,
an Ethernet services interface "Service" and a host interface "Host" which may be
either Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422. Connecting a terminal or a remote indicator allows
the measuring head to be used as an economic minimal system.
All parameters can be restored to preset default values with a special command.
In addition, it is possible to set the default values of the Ethernet services interface
automatically using a small button on the connector plate (see operating instructions for
measuring head). This method thus always provides a connection with the measuring
head.
The following possibilities are supported by the software:
Preprocessing:
– Measurement of diameter, penetration depth or height
– Simultaneous measurement
– Glass logic
– Rod beginning and end signals

Extreme Value Acquisition:
– Processing of the minimum, e.g. with profile measurement
– Processing of the maximum, e.g. when measuring edges
– Processing of the average, normal measuring mode
Instantaneous values:
– Possibility to output the instantaneous values
– Computation of the object position in the measuring field
– Computation of additional data (e.g. deviation)
– Offset correction of measured values in % or as absolute value
Monitoring:
– Relative monitoring of the % deviation from the average of the previous
measured values
– Absolute monitoring of the deviation within an absolute range relative to the
average of the previous measured values
– Monitoring of the position of the measured object within an absolute range
relative to the previous measurement.
– Tolerance monitoring
Averaging:
– Adjustable averaging time of measured values
– Adjustable error suppression
– Possibility to output the error counter
Postprocessing:
– Statistics with selectable period and pause function
Output:
– Operation and configuration of the measuring head is carried out via the 2
interfaces which are designated as "Service" and "Host".
– Upload of all parameters through the 2 interfaces "Service" and "Host"
Input:
– Download of all parameters through the 2 interfaces "Service" and "Host"
Basic rules:
All functions can be combined except:
– Penetration depth measurement with multiple measurement
– Height measurement with multiple measurement
– Two or three axes measurement with multiple measurement
All parameters, results and error messages can be accessed from the outside, except:
– Adjusted correction factors.
► Attention:
All parameters except some control function like "start/stop" and "pause" of the statistic,
are stored in an internal flash memory. You should not modify them to often, since only
100'000 write-accesses are allowed.
Downloading always the same parameter value (e.g. after powerup) doesn't matter,
because only modified values are effectively written into the flash memory.
3 FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
3.1 MEASURING POSSIBILITIES

The evaluation can be based on different measurement methods: diameter
measurement, simultaneous measurement, penetration depth or height measurement.
3.1.1 Diameter measurement

Measurement applies to a single object only. The object is completely located in the
measuring field. This type of measurement can be performed with all measuring
heads. The axes of dual-axes measuring heads (ODAC 18…110XY) are designated
as X and Y. The axes of three-axes measuring heads (ODAC...TRIO) are designated
as X, Y and Z. The object position in each measuring field is designated accordingly
as X-position, Y-position and Z-position.
Single-axes measurement Dual-axes measurement (XY) Triple-axes measurement (XYZ)
The entire object is inside the measuring field.

All measuring heads support this measurement mode.
Chopper signal
X Y
Video signal
Object Object Object
Single-axes measurement Dual-axes measurement (XY)
In this mode, the "glass logic" also allows you to measure transparent objects.
3.1.2 Penetration depth measurement (only single plane measuring heads)
Only part of the object penetrates the measuring field. It is the part which is measured.
3.1.3 Height measurement (only single plane measuring heads)

You can measure the penetration depth or the height of an object with a measuring
head. The object does not have to be completely inside the measuring field. With height
measurement, the object penetrates the measuring field from underneath.
3.1.4 Simultaneous measurement (only single plane measuring heads)

It allows you to measure the diameter of 1 to 16 objects simultaneously (AE).
Object 1
Object 2
Object 3
Object 4
Object 5...16
Each object is detected and, after one revolution of the mirror system, it is processed.
However only one result is computed at a time, i.e. the computation for the first object
follows the first revolution, the computation for the second object follows the second
revolution, etc. Four revolutions are thus needed for measuring four objects. In order
to keep track of which objects are still to be measured following a failure (e.g. broken
wire), the whole measuring field is divided into zones. These zones can be calibrated
(AW), so that there is no need for special guides.
The numbering of the objects is normally topdown, i.e. Object 1 is the uppermost one.
This sequence can be inverted with a parameter (AV).
It is neither possible to perform the acquisition of extrema values nor to monitor the
position. The root mean square, its deviation, the difference, the relative ovulated are
not computed, as they are only meaningful with measurement of multiple axes (Groups
D and F). Statistics are not computed either.
3.1.5 Length counter

An external impulse (option) generator can be connected to the interface "I/F". With
it, it is possible to record the current production length and to output it (DR). In order
to activate the length recording, the parameter SQ must be put on 1. By help of a
calibration factor (SR), the distance between two impulses can be input. This enables
to calculate the length and the precision in the desired unit. The counter can be stopped
and reset with CN. With CO, the counting can be temporarily interrupted (Pause).
3.2 MEASUREMENT PROCESSING

Measured values are processed as follows:
Measured signals
Preprocessing
Relative monitoring
Measurement errors
Single scan values
Instantaneous values
Extremal value acquisition
Absolute monitoring
Averaging
Postprocessing
Output
3.2.1 Preprocessing
The incoming signals first undergo a validity check (signal sequence, position
monitoring). Individual scans are then acquired in three different ways:
average, minimum and maximum (please refer to "Extremely Value Acquisition" and
"Simultaneous Measurement"). The processing always ends after every revolution.
The so-called "glass logic" can also be switched on for measuring transparent objects.
As soon as an object leaves the measuring field, this is signaled with a "Rod signal"
(EA). The subsequent processing in aborted immediately. After a new object enters
the measuring field, an other Rod Signal is sent and the processing is restarted.
3.2.2 Position monitoring

The position of the measured object within a given absolute region (KC) can be
monitored from scan to scan to see if it is changing. Excessive deviations give rise
to an error message. This filtering is used for masking out strong vibrations of the
measured object, such as e.g. with wire drawing.
3.2.3 Relative monitoring

The deviation is monitored in % of the unprocessed data (average, minimum or
maximum according to the mode of measurement) relatively to the average of the
unprocessed data immediately preceding (parameter KA). Irregularities or too large
deviations give rise to an error message. This filtering prevents the occurrence of
grossly inaccurate measurements caused e.g. by disturbances in the measuring
system.
3.2.4 Extremely value acquisition

The unprocessed measured values can yield various types of measured values
(parameter AG). In the averaging mode, an average is calculated over all scans (single
reflection). In the minimum or maximum mode, only the extremely values collected
over a certain length of time (BG) are processed any further (single scans). The type
of processing thus also influences relative monitoring and instantaneous values. The
position is always averaged.
3.2.5 Offset computation

It is possible to specify an offset in % (BB) and an offset as an absolute value (BC).
Both values can be positive or negative. The offset values influence all results based
on the measured quantity, such as deviation, statistics, etc.
3.2.6 Instantaneous values

These data are computed after a revolution of the mirror system or after the number
of mirrors (virtual mirror rotation) set with the NA parameter has been reached. They
form the values of the F result group. These values also provide additional results from
groups D, E and M if averaging time (CA) is set to zero.; they are primarily foreseen
for diagnostic and fast tolerance monitoring.
The following additional data are normally computed from the measured values
(Groups D and F): deviation from the nominal value (BA), arithmetic mean and root
mean square, deviations of the average from the nominal value, difference between
the individual measurement axes (XY or XYZ), relative ovulate (XY).
3.2.7 Absolute monitoring
This monitoring is used for testing if the measured values are within a given absolute
range (KB). The absolute deviation of the unprocessed data relatively to the average of
the preceding data is monitored. Too large deviations give rise to an error message. This
filtering is e.g. used to mask out droplets on the object to be measured. Instantaneous
values (Group F) are not monitored.
3.2.8 Averaging
Averaging is applied to both measured values (CA) and error messages (AU). Thus,
even under unfavourable measuring conditions, correct results are output and the
number of error message is limited.
3.2.9 Position
The position of the object measured can be output in order to monitor the object's
motion in the measuring field. The position is defined as the deviation of the height of
the measured object's center relatively to the middle of the existing measuring field.
A negative deviation indicates a downward position change, a positive deviation an
upward one.
Position +
Position –
It is however possible to invert the sign by using parameter AV, for instance if the
measuring head has been installed with the opening pointing downward.
3.2.10 Single scan values

As, besides the average, both minimum and maximum are of interest in many
applications, they can also be output (Group G). These values are acquired during
the averaging interval (averaging time CA). There is neither relative nor position nor
absolute monitoring. Each multiple axes of measuring heads is processed separately.
3.2.11 Limit value monitoring

Measured quantities 1 to 16 can be monitored. Limit value monitoring can be switched
on or off (CB), minimum (BD) and maximum (BE) limit values can be defined. The
values compared to the limits can be either instantaneous values (fast monitoring)
or the values after averaging. A signal is output if one of the two limits is exceeded.
When reentering the range inside the limit values, an end of alarm is output including
the maximum value by which the limit has been exceeded. The alarm state ends if the
measured object leaves the measuring field (end of rod). The multiple axes measuring
heads are monitored separately.
3.2.12 Statistics
Statistics are computed from the averaged measured values. If the averaging time is
0.0, instantaneous values are used instead. There are different ways to define the time
interval used for statistics (CE): when a rod is present, based on external Start/Stop
signals (CF), or for a predetermined time interval. You can interrupt the acquisition of
data for the statistics with an external Pause signal (CH).
The values available at the end of a statistical period are Minimum, Maximum, Range
(max. - min.), average and standard deviation, the last measured value and the number
of collected measured values. These statistical values are only computed if more than
2 values have been acquired. They are 0.0 otherwise.
3.2.13 Scan rate

The scan rate (ZD) is only measured during calibration. This value is primarily used for
checking measuring heads that can be used with different scan rates (e.g., ODAC 16J).
3.2.14 Data rate

The data rate indicates the highest number of measurements available per second.
This is very easy to compute as the scan rate divided by the number of mirrors in the
mirror system used. The number of mirrors can be obtained by querying parameter
(ZJ) and the scan rate by querying parameter (ZD).
Example: ODAC 18XY, (AB)=25: From (ZD) = 1200 and (ZJ) = 20:
Data rate = 1200 / 20 = 60 data packets per second.
With the new-generation measuring heads, it has become possible to increase the data
rate by "virtually" reducing the number of mirrors in the mirror system used. This can
be performed with the (NA) parameter. The measuring heads supporting this function
are identified by a measuring head number (AB) starting with number 100.
If the (NA) parameter has been modified, the expected data rate can be read directly
with parameter (ZK).
Example: ODAC 18XY, (AB)=125: (NA) = 5
provides a data rate (ZK) = 240 (1200 / 5 = 240)
3.2.15 Fault detection function

This special function (Fault Detection) detects very abrupt deviations from the
dimensions such as lumps and neckdowns that might occur during the manufacturing
process.
The smallest and largest measured value of each mirror rotation are monitored each
time. These extreme values refer to individual scans, i.e. they haven't been averaged
(see Single Scan Values in Group G) and thus allow to detect the smallest irregularities.
The fault detection function then checks after the averaging time (CA) if the extreme
values exceed set tolerance limits (BJ / BK). An error counter (MJ / MK) is incremented
when this occurs. The tolerance limits are set relatively to the measured value of the
diameter. This value, in turn, is given by a moving average based on a given number
of single average values of the mirror rotation.
Please note:
The fault detection function can also be used with unround products (e.g. profiles)
by enabling separate monitoring for each measuring axis. This is done by means
of the CV parameter (1 = monitoring of all axes, 2 = separate monitoring of each
measurement axis).
Moving Average
The averaging times to be applied can either be calculated automatically or entered by
the user. The selection of one of these two operating modes is performed by means
of parameter CW (0 = Automatic, 1 to 99 = according to input).
In the case of automatic computation, the timings are defined as follows:

a) If CA = 0: Time = 60 measurements, respectively mirror revolutions = 1 second
b) If CA > 0: Time = 4 * CA in seconds
As specified by the user:

CW = 1 to 99: Number of measurements according to the value set for CA
a) If CA = 0: Time = CW = number of mirror rotations
b) If CA > 0: Time = CW * CA in seconds
Function mode "absolute"

In this particular function mode, the monitoring is not done over a flowing average
but compared to the input product setpoint. This allows to ignore faults which are still
within tolerance limits. The function mode can be activated by means of CV = 5. The
product setpoint BA will then still be needed.
4 COMMUNICATION INTERFACES
The two interfaces used for operating and configuration of the measuring head are
designated as "Service" and "Host". Setup is performed by a up- and download of the
corresponding parameters.
"Service":
– Service interface
– Up- and Download / Automatic output
– Terminal output
– Protocol consisting of ASCII characters
"Host":
– Host interface
– Up- and Download / Automatic output
– Host or Terminal output
– Protocol consisting of ASCII characters
– This interface is fully isolated
4.1 PHYSICAL INTERFACE
4.1.1 "Service" interface (Ethernet TCP/IP)

The services interface can be used to configure and calibrate the ODAC measuring
head.
This can be executed either via the TCP/IP server, a computer with terminal programme
and the ZUMBACH ODAC or host protocol, or via the integrated web server and
associated web visualization in a browser.
This interface corresponds the Ethernet standard:

ISO/IEC 8802-3
• Ethernet 10/100 Base T
• Protocol TCP/IP
• Connector RJ45 (8P8C)
• Port no. 8080 for web server, 2020 for TCP/IP server
• IP address of the ODAC measuring head: 192.168.1.9
(factory setting)
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (factory setting)
Status display:
LED yellow: activity (data traffic)
LED green: link (connection)
Reset button:
Resets service interface to factory settings.
Procedure: press button for 5 seconds with a pointed object: for example, carefully
press button using an opened out paper clip inserted through hole on connector plate.
The device automatically restarts after releasing button.
4.1.2 "Host" Host interface (Ethernet TCP/IP or RS-232/RS-422)

Used to communicate data with a higher level system (Host). Can be incorporated
into a network depending on type of interface and software protocol. It is galvanically
isolated.
4.1.2.1 Serial interface RS-232/RS-422
The serial interface can operate via either RS-232, RS-422 full duplex or RS-485 half
duplex. The parameter SB must be selected according to selected transfer mode.
The interface parameters are adjustable in the following fields:
– Baud rate 1'200 – 115'200
– Parity check Non - Even - Odd
– Number oft stop bit 1
– Number of bits per character 7–8
– Transfer mode RS-232, RS-422 full duplex, RS-485 half duplex
4.1.2.2 Ethernet TCP/IP

For measuring heads with Ethernet host interface, the measured values and parameters
are casted into and transported using TCP / IP packets defined by a selectable
ZUMBACH protocol (ODAC or host protocol). This allows Data exchange via existing
networks such as company-owned networks.
Ethernet RJ45 socket
The LEDs COM 0 + 1 are not used and are therefore always off.
Both Ethernet ports are internally connected via a switch and allow for a loop through
connection to simplify wiring.
The measuring heads are set by default with IP address, subnet mask and Gateway
0.0.0.0 when delivered. The addresses can be set and read via the services interface
with the following ODAC / Host parameter IP: IL / a940 – subnet: IM / a941 – Gateway:
IO / a942. The TCP / IP port is permanently set to 2020 and cannot be changed.
Changing the network settings leads to a restart of the device.
4.2 LIMITATIONS INHERENT TO THE RS INTERFACE
Connecting a slow receiving device limits the continuous output of measured values
through the RS interface. A further limitation is of course the baud rate: it indicates
the maximum number of bits per second which can be transferred through the RS
interface. The lowest baud rate needed for transmission depends on the desired number
of results per second, on the number of characters in each result and on the number
of bits per character, including start, stop and parity bits. See also the description of
Control parameter CA.
4.3 CHARACTER SET

Communication through the interfaces is performed exclusively with 7-bit ASCII
characters. Except for CR, LF, XON and XOFF, check and control characters (ACK,
NACK, ENQ, etc.) are not used for controlling the transmission. Control characters
put within [ ] in this manual do not appear on the printer and the terminal.
[CR] Carriage Return, ASCII 13 (decimal) corresponds

in most cases to "Enter" or "Return" (CR-LF)
[LF] Line Feed, ASCII 10 (decimal), used in most cases with [CR]
[XON] ASCII 17 (decimal), corresponds to CTRL-Q or [DC1]
[XOFF] ASCII 19 (decimal), corresponds to CTRL-S or [DC3]
4.4 HANDSHAKING
The two signals [XON] and [XOFF] can be used as software handshake. The XON/
XOFF protocol is always used (cannot be turned off). The status is not saved into the
data flash, i.e. output is always enabled after start-up. The hardware handshake is
not possible.
4.5 DIRECTION OF TRANSFER

The direction of transfer is defined as follows:
DOWNLOAD = Data transfer Host ‑‑> ODAC measuring head

UPLOAD = Data transfer ODAC measuring head ‑‑> Host
4.6 UPLOAD
Uploading is always a 2-step process:
1. Request to the measuring head.

The request defines the value desired.
2. The requested value is sent by the measuring head between the serial
interface.
The signal name of the parameter followed by [CR] or [CR][LF] is input. The reply
consists of the signal name followed by the value with the set resolution (AH) and ends
with the characters [CR][LF]. A message is issued if there is an error.
Example: Request for measured value 1 (e.g. diameter)
Sent: DA[CR]
Answer: DA54.321[CR][LF]
Example: Request for an undefined parameter
Sent: DZ[CR]
Answer: EB202[CR][LF]
Example: Request for measured value 1 during invalid measurement
Sent: DA[CR]
Answer: EB301[CR][LF]
or: DA!EB304[CR][LF]
Example: Request for measured value 2, value not present

(e.g. 1-axis measuring head)
Sent: DC[CR]
Answer: DC!EA2[CR][LF]
Caution: A value of 0.000 is output if a statistical value is queried

and the statistical evaluation is not valid!
Example: Request for baud rate "Host" (AM)
Sent: AM[CR]
Answer: AM6[CR][LF] (6 is the code for baud rate 9600)
An illegal UPLOAD request, e.g. parameter AA, results in an error message (EB204).
4.7 DOWNLOAD
Only parameters from groups A, B, C, I, K, N and S can be downloaded to the measuring
head. The results in groups D, E, F, G, H and M and the information in group Z can only
be Uploaded. An illegal DOWNLOAD request results in an error message (EB203).
DOWNLOAD is performed by sending the signal name of the parameter, the
corresponding value and a termination character [CR]. The value may contain a sign,
a decimal point and an exponent. Measurement unit is fixed: it is determined by the
way it has been defined for the corresponding parameter. For parameters with "case"
extension, the type number desired follows the signal name. If the measuring head
accepts the input parameter, it acknowledges it by sending back the character string
received as acknowledgment, otherwise it issues an error message (EB200). Always
enter the system code (safety code) before modifying a parameter from group A.
Otherwise, an error message (EB201) is also issued.
Example: Setting the nominal value to 75.321 mm
Sent: BA75.321[CR]
Answer: BA75.321[CR][LF]
or
Sent: BA75321E-3[CR]
Answer: BA75321E-3[CR][LF]
Example: Setting the number of test objects (wrong)
Sent: AA150858[CR]
Answer: AA150858[CR][LF]
Sent: AE12[CR]
Answer: EB200[CR][LF] (error message because AE can be max. 16)
For the output parameters selection "Service" (CK) and "Host" (CL), one uses a
generalized form of input.
This allows you to select different results (max. 16) at the same time. In this case, the
type is just the signal name of the corresponding parameter. The various parameters
are sent one after the other without separating space. Only the first character received
is tested (it must be D, E, G or M) and can cause an error message to be issued. The
processing of the input string terminates either with the first undefined character or
after four identified correct designations.
Example: Selection of:
Measured quantity 1 DA
Position 1 EC
Deviation 1 DB
Sent: CKDAECDB[CR]
Answer: CKDAECDB[CR][LF]
All parameters can be modified online during measurement. This, of course, will cause
interruptions in the acquisition of measured values. These will again be correct at the
end of the next cycle (averaging time, statistics, rod), or before. For further examples,
refer to chapter "Examples of Applications".
4.8 AUTOMATIC OUTPUT
There is a difference between output following the averaging time interval and output
following a statistical period (CI/CJ).
You can switch on and off these two output modes independently of each other.
The output definition can differ for each of the two RS interfaces.
Following averaging time:

Always occurs at the end of the averaging time interval (averaged of measured data
acquisition). It is possible to output up to 16 values simultaneously. The selection of
the output values is free (Output selection CK or CL). If a measurement is invalid, an
error message replaces the faulty value(s).
Example with 4 measured values (multiple measurement):

– All measured values correct:
DA5.456 DC5.476 DE5.423 DG5.465[CR][LF]
– Measurement error in general:

EB304[CR][LF] (or another error message EB…)
– Only measured values 1 and 2 present:

DA5.456 DC5.476 DE!EA2 DG!EA2[CR][LF]
– Three measured values correct, one bad:

DA5.456 DC!EB304 DE5.423 DG5.465[CR][LF]
– No measured value:
EA2[CR][LF]
Following Statistics:
Statistical values are output at the end of the statistical period, provided enough
measured values (2) have been acquired for allowing their computation. This procedure
is for instance useful in the presence of dirt particles. When rods are being measured
(Automatic Start/Stop at beginning and end of rod, CE = 1) such dirt particles, if present
in the measuring field, could trigger statistical output and therefore give the impression
of a bad rod. Refer also to the chapter "Examples of Applications".
4.9 CHANGE OF PROTOCOL

The software in the measuring head supports several communication protocols.
The protocols which are supported are the standard ZUMBACH ODAC protocol
(parameters in AAxx format) described in this manual, the ZUMBACH ASCII Host
protocol (parameters in A995 xxx format) and the ANSI Multidrop protocol.
A suitable communication protocol for the two interfaces "Service" and "Host" can be
selected with the SP parameter. The ZUMBACH ASCII Host protocol is described in
a separate Software Manual. This manual also contains a description of the standard
ANSI Multidrop protocol.
5 DESCRIPTION OF THE PARAMETERS AND RESULTS
This chapter describes all parameters and computed results available with the
measuring head. You can access all these values externally. Parameters are values
needed by the measuring head for computing the various results. Parameters must be
input from the outside. Results are values computed on the basis of the measurement
signals "Video" and "Chopper".
5.1 DESIGNATION OF THE PARAMETERS AND RESULTS

All parameters described are of the form:
[Signal Name] [Short Description] (Type)

Signal name of parameter:
For the sake of clarity, the list of parameters has been divided into groups, each group
being identified by a single letter. Each parameter in a group is itself identified by a
single letter. Therefore, the full designation of a parameter is made of 2 letters.
X X
Parameter designation

Parameter group
Short description:
This description conveys the meaning of the parameter in the shortest possible way
and helps getting a better overview.
Parameter type:
(Value) Floating point value

All input formats with or without decimal point, 0, "+" or "-" are
valid. An exponential representation (E) is also valid. The output
is performed with the number of decimal places determined by
a parameter (AH). The absolute range of values for input
parameters is limited to ± 9999.999 unless otherwise specified.
(Case) Number without decimal places.

One possibility can be selected out of a given list. The input requires
a number corresponding to the possibility selected.
(On/Off) To switch a function on or off, to start or stop a function, to activate

or deactivate a function. The only allowed values are 0 and 1. These
are signals and are not stored in the data flash, which means that
they are set to 0 when the system starts.
(String) For the input of letters and digits.
(Command) Does not have a value. Triggers an action.
5.2 DESCRIPTION PRINCIPLE
The parameters contained in the list starting in the next chapter are always described
in the following format:

5.3 SYSTEM PARAMETERS GROUP A

These parameters define the basic setup of the measuring head. They can be input
and output parameters. They are protected by a system code and can only be modified
if the correct code has already been entered.
AA System code (string)

following inappropriate manipulations. Entering this code is needed for modifying a
critical parameter. Code = 150858.
Parameters protected: all system parameters in groups A and S.
Default value: 150858
Relationship: Parameter ZX

Remarks:
1) The measuring heads with numbers 100-199 with CSS (Calibrated Single Scan)
are suitable for setting a higher data rate (with parameter NA). Refer to the
description of special parameters NA, ZD, ZJ and ZK for additional information.
2) The measuring heads with numbers between 200-399 have a higher scan
rate and are also suitable for setting a higher data rate (with parameter NA).
Refer to the description of special parameters NA, ZD, ZJ and ZK for additional
information.
3) Measuring heads of the "J" type are driven by the ZUMBACH CI 1J/EN-XX
computer interface. The software functionality remains however the same.
AC Calibration date (string)
Calibration date. For monitoring incorrect manipulations of the sensor. The date remains
stored until the next calibration and can be queried. The format of the date is free;
numbers and letters can be used. The date is not tested for validity but directly stored
in the entered form. It must however be entered when performing the AD calibration.
Relationship: AD, AW, NC, ZX
Remark
The calibration date is stored separately for two groups of measuring heads.
The first group includes all standard measuring heads with numbers between AB0
and AB99. The second group includes the measuring heads providing a higher
measurement and output rate. Their number starts from AB100. The storage and
query of the date are performed in accordance with the current gauge selection AB.
The date of the second measuring head group can be queried separately using NC,
regardless of gauge selection AB.
AD Calibration (value)
Starts the automatic calibration of the measuring head. The value to be given is the
diameter of the reference standard in the measuring field without offset (see also
Instruction Manual of the corresponding measuring head). After entering the system
code AA, you must first enter the calibration date AC before performing the calibration
itself with AD

The calibration factors are computed from 25 valid instantaneous values. This results
in a slight delay before a reply is issued. A positive acknowledgment (ADM) should
follow after approximately 2 seconds, otherwise an error message (EB305) follows
within max. 5 seconds. Refer to chapter "Examples of Applications".
Unit: free, e.g. mm or mil
Relationship: AC, ND, ZX
Limitation: Calibration can only be performed after the measuring head type
has been entered and a reference sample is inside the
measuring field (diameter).
Remark
Measuring heads with numbers starting from AB100 can provide higher measuring
and output rates. This requires a single scan calibration, i.e. a significantly longer one
(e.g. with ODAC 18XY: approximately 2 s compared to approximately 7 s).
The calibration value is stored separately for two measuring head groups.
The first group includes all standard measuring heads with numbers between AB0
and AB99. The second group includes the measuring heads providing a higher
measurement and output rate. These have a measuring head number starting from
AB100. The storage and query of the calibration value are performed in accordance
with the current gauge selection AB. The calibration value of the second measuring
head group can be queried separately with ND, regardless of the measuring head
selection AB.
AE Number of measured objects (case)
Number of objects to be measured

Selection: n Number of measured objects. Input from 1 to 10

Default value: 1 measured object

Restrictions: Extremal value acquisition and penetration depth or height
measurement, as well as multiple axes measuring heads
cannot be used if more than 1 object has to be measured.
In such a case, statistics are not performed either.

AF Glass logic (case)

Glass logic gives the possibility to measure transparent objects.

Attention: This feature reduces the possibilities to detect measuring errors.
Therefor it should be switched off whenever this is possible

Selection: 0 Switched off

1 Switched on. Only 1 glass object is possible.

2 Switched on. For several glass objects.
Equidistante classification of the measuring zones
according to the parameter AE

Default value: Glass logic off

Restrictions: The height mode of measurement is not possible.

AG Measurement acquisition mode (case)

This parameter determines the value to be acquired. It also controls preprocessing.

Selection: 0 Average

1 Minimum

2 Maximum

Default value: 0 Average

Relationship: Acquisition interval BG

Restrictions: In the case of simultaneous measurement, the average
is always used.

AH Resolution (case)
The resolution indicates the number of places after the decimal point of floating point
values to be output. The value is always rounded to the least significant digit displayed.

Selection: 0 no digit following the decimal point

1 1 digit following the decimal point

2 2 digits following the decimal point




Default value: 5

AM Serial interface "Host": Baud rate (case)

Selection: 3 1200 baud

4 2400 baud

5 4800 baud

6 9600 baud

7 19200 baud

8 38400 baud

9 57600 baud

10 115200 baud

Default value: 19200 baud

Restrictions: A low baud rate prevents the fast output of measured values.
If the transmission of several parameters is require (with CK, CL),
this can cause the loss of measured values when the output rate
(averaging time CA) is too high.

AN Serial interface "Host": Parity
Parity is used to check the transmission.

Selection: 0 Even

1 Odd

2 None

Default value: Even parity

AO Serial interface "Host": Stop bit(s)

Stop bit number.

Selection: 0 1 stop bit

1 2 stop bits

Default value: 0 1 stop bit

AP Serial interface "Host": Bits per character

Selection: 1 7 bits per character

2 8 bits per character

Default value: 0 7 bits per character

AQ Measurement processing mode (case)

This parameter determines the measurement processing mode of single-axis
measuring heads. With multiple axes systems it is ignored.

Selection: 0 Diameter measurement

1 Penetration depth measurement

2 Height measurement

Default value: Diameter measurement

Restrictions: Measuring the penetration depth or height can only be performed
with single-axis measuring heads. Calibration can only be
performed with diameter values.

AU Error suppression (case)
This parameter lets you determine how many measurement errors are needed for
a particular error message (group EB3xx) to be output. This averaging suppresses
unnecessary error message in the case of unstable measuring conditions. This value
can be adjusted to the object measured. Should the number of errors exceed the value
AU, the current data acquisition ends. The next averaging period restarts with the
measured value immediately following. As long as the number of errors is not exceeded,
the acquisition period is not terminated and the last valid measured value is output.

Selection: 0 No suppression

1 1 error suppressed

:

999 999 errors suppressed

Default value: 15

AV Direction (case)
Normally, the direction of the measured object relatively to the middle of the measuring
field has a positive value if upward and a negative one if downward. In the case of
simultaneous measurement, the uppermost object is designated as object 1 (measured
quantity 1), the one below it as object 2, etc. This parameter allows you to invert the
definition of both directions.

Selection: 0 Normal

1 Inverted

Default value: Normal

Restrictions: In the case of measurement heads with several axes, only the sign
of the position values is inverted. The measurement axes,
however, remain in the same order.

Remark: The position values of the ODAC 110 XY measuring head are
inverted. Thus in this case:

Selection: 0 Inverted

1 Normal

AW Division of measuring zones (case)
This value is used for calibrating the measuring zones of multiple measurement. The
measuring field must be divided into measuring zones to allow each single object to be
monitored. In order to simplify the installation (no special guides or holding devices),
these zones can be calibrated. The position of each object is measured and the middle
position between two consecutive objects is computed.
Zone 1
Zone 2
Zone 3
The calibration procedure is similar to the one used for calibrating the diameter
(AD). First enter the system code (AA), then the date (AC) and finally the number
of zones (AW). An error message is issued if the number of measuring zones does
not correspond to the number of measured objects defined in (AE). ADW is the
acknowledgment signaling the successful completion of the procedure. The negative
acknowledgment is EB307. An error causes AW to be reset to 1.
If the zones haven't been calibrated or if their number doesn't correspond to the number
of measured objects defined, the measuring field is divided into zones of equal size
according to the number of objects to measure (AE).
Measurement without zone partitioning

If it is not desired to partition the measuring field into a certain number of measuring
zones, this function can be turned off with parameter SJ (SJ = 1).
In this measurement mode, the measured objects can move freely inside the measuring
field. The only thing that must remain constant is the number of measured objects
as initially defined with the AE parameter. An error EB302 is output if the two values
differ. Measurement output stops.

Selection: n Number of measured objects. Input from 1 to 16

Default value: 1 zones

Relationship: SJ

Restrictions: Only used with multiple measurement (AE>1)
Cannot be used when measuring without zone partitioning
(SJ = 1)

AY CAPAC® Offset calibration
The capacitance measuring systems CAPAC® J requires a two-step calibration. The
offset must be determined (AY) in a first step, then the gain (AD). The procedure is
similar to a diameter calibration (see description of parameter AD). The system code
(AA) is entered first, then the date (AC) and finally the offset value (AY). The offset
value is zero (with an empty CAPAC® measuring tube, see the appropriate operating
instructions). The processor issues the message ADY if the calibration has been
successful. Otherwise EB305 is issued if an error has occurred. This step must be
followed by the calibration of the gain. The way this is performed is the same as for
ODAC® devices (see the description of parameter AD).

Default value: 0

Unit: Same as calibration value DA (e.g. pF/m)

Limitation: The CAPAC® measuring tube must be empty. This parameter is
only used if a CAPAC® J sensor is connected (Gauge selection
AB17)

AZ Initialization (case)
This command allows you to set up all default values. You can also restrict the
initialization to a selected part of the parameters.

Selection: 0 Default values for all parameters

Restrictions: No UPLOAD possible

5.4 PRODUCT PARAMETERS GROUP B

These are the parameters which directly depend on the product's dimensions. They
are input and output parameters.

BA Nominal value (value)
Nominal value of the measured object: used for computing the deviation.

Default value: 0.0

Unit: Same as Calibration value AD

BB Offset in % (value)
The offset can be positive or negative. The measured quantity is increased or decreased
by the given percentage.

Measured quantity = meas. value * (100 + Offset) / 100

The offset influences all results based on measured quantities that is, also the deviation
and all statistical quantities.

Default value: 0 %

Unit: %

Restrictions: Value between -99.9 and 9999.9

BC Absolute offset (value)

The positive or negative offset is added as a constant to the measured quantity.

Measured quantity = measured value + (± Offset)

The offset influences all results based on measured quantities that is, also the deviation
and all statistical quantities.

Default value: 0.0


BD Tolerance minimum (value)

If the value of one of the measured quantities is below this limit value, the signal ED
is transmitted. As soon as the value of this measured quantity is once again inside
tolerance limits, the message signaling the end of the tolerance alarm is transmitted
(EF). You can select the mode of tolerance monitoring with the parameter CB.

Default value: 0.0


Restrictions: The value should not be larger than the tolerance maximum (BE).
This must be verified externally (by the host), since there is no
internal check. Tolerance monitoring (CB) has to be enabled.

BE Tolerance maximum (value)
If the values of one of the measured quantities is above this limit value, the signal EE
is transmitted. As soon as the value of this measured quantity is once again inside
tolerance limits, the message signaling the end of the tolerance alarm is transmitted
(EF). You can select the mode of tolerance monitoring with the parameter CB.

Default value: 500.0

Restrictions: The value should not be smaller than the tolerance minimum
(BD). This must be verified externally (by the host), since
there is no internal check. Tolerance monitoring (CB) has to
be enabled.

BG Acquisition interval (value)

External values are acquired during the time interval defined by this parameter. This
parameter is only meaningful if AG is not zero (i.e., acquisition of extrema values
active), if simultaneous measurement is not performed and averaging time CA is also
different from zero.

Default value: 1.0 sec.

Relationship: Measurement acquisition mode AG

Restrictions: Value between 0.1 and 999.99 sec, averaging time CA
not 0.0, AE = 1

BJ Limit value for neckdowns

The corresponding counter MJ is incremented by 1 if this value is crossed in the
negative direction.
The following values are monitored according to the CV setting:

CV = 1: Single scan value GJ relatively to a moving average of DA
(or DL in the case of measuring heads with several axes).

CV = 2: Single scan values GB relatively to a moving average of DA
(GD relatively to DC and GF relatively to DE in the case
of measuring heads with several axes).

Value: Limitet value Minimum

Unit: Same as Calibration value DA

BK Limit value for lumps
The corresponding counter MK is incremented by 1 if this value is crossed in the
positive direction.
The following values are monitored according to the CV setting:

CV = 1: Single scan value GK relatively to a moving average of DA
(or DL in the case of measuring heads with several axes).

CV = 2: Single scan values GA relatively to a moving average of DA
(GC relatively to DC and GE relatively to DE in the case
of measuring heads with several axes).

Value: Limitet value Maximum

Unit: Same as Calibration value DA

5.5 CONTROL PARAMETERS GROUP C

These parameters act on the measuring process and the output of measured values.
They can be input and output parameters.
CA Averaging time (value)

The calculated results of groups D, E and M are averaged according to time entered.
If CA = 0, then the values are determined by revising the mirror system and are output
directly. This is also the case for minimum and maximum detection modes. In this case
the instantaneous value is output directly (after the relative monitoring). If CA is not 0,
then smaller values from CA can lead to an overload of the communication interface
(output buffer overflows). For this reason the minimum values from CA (if CA is not
0) is dependant on the baud rate for the output via the serial interface (when CI or CJ
= 1 or 3) and may longer match the values used for measuring. If the measurement
acquisition mode is "Minimum" or "Maximum" (AG) and the time CA shorter than
the acquisition interval BG, then the parameter CA determines the automatic output
interval of the measured values. In this case, the last valid measured value (or error)
is used. The following minimal values apply to the output cycle:

AM 3 (1200 Baud) 0.2s
4 (2400 Baud) 0.1s
5-10 (ab 4800 Baud) 0.04s

Remarks: The details are only relevant for units with the RS option (serial Host
interface). In general the minimum value of 0.04 s is set on units
with EN option (Ethernet interface), if CA is not 0.

We recommend working with the setting CA = 0 if a higher data rate is desired as
the basic loading on the system is lower.

Warning ! Even with this minimum setting an overflow is still possible if several
results as an output with CK or CL are defined.

Even so, you should provide for an additional safety margin. Do not forget to include
the output of statistical results, if present, and the communication (UP- / DOWNLOAD)
with the measuring head. If you wish to have more data transmitted per second, you
must increase the baud rate.

Default value: 0.1 sec.

Unit: Seconds

Resolution: 10 msec.

Restrictions: The value of CA must be between 0 and 3600

CB Limit value monitoring (case)

Selection of the speed of limit value monitoring. You can select the monitoring to
be on or off, and monitor the instantaneous values (fast monitoring) or those after
averaging time (CA) or single scan values (very fast monitoring). The values are
monitored according to the Measurement acquisition mode (AG). Alarm signals are
only transmitted automatically when an output cycle is defined (CI/CJ not 0).

Selection: 0 No limit value monitoring

1 Instantaneous value monitoring

2 Monitoring according to set averaging time value

3 Single scan monitoring

Default value: No limit value monitoring

Restrictions: The limit values BD and BE must be set correctly

CD Selection of statistical values
This provides the way to select the values to be included in the statistics and to be
made available for output. The selection refers either to the values averaged with the
preset CA averaging time parameter (group D) or to the fast values, i.e. the average
of each individual mirror revolution (Group G). The output can contain up to four lines.
Lines one to three correspond to the axes of the connected measuring head, the last
row, if selected, contains the RMS of all measurement axes. Parameters used for
output: EG to EL for the first value (corresponds X), EM to ER for the second value
(corresponds to Y), HG to HL for the third value (corresponds to Z) and HM to HR
(corresponds to RMS).
Selection: 0 Averaged values of X, Y and Z

1 Averaged RMS

2 Averaged values of X, Y, Z and RMS

3 Fast values of X, Y and Z

4 Fast RMS

5 Fast values of X, Y, Z and RMS

Default value: 0 Averaged values of X, Y and Z

Restriction: The fast value and the averaged value are identical if CA = 0

CE Statistical mode (case)

Defines how the time interval used as statistical period is determined. Statistical
value acquisition occurs after averaging and proceeds according to the measurement
acquisition mode (AG).

Selection: 0 No statistics

1 External Start / Stop with parameter CF

2 Start given by the beginning of the rod, stop by its end

3 Preset time interval CG

Default value: No statistics

Restrictions: The values are automatically output only if the parameter
CI or CJ has been set accordingly and enough measured values (2)
have been acquired.

CF Statistics Start/Stop (on/off)
External Start/Stop of the statistical period. With "Start", the data for the statistics begin
to be collected. Statistics "Stop" causes the values needed to be computed and to be
then ready for output. The values are conserved until the next "Stop". Intermediate
results can be computed as long as no "Start" occurs between two "Stop" commands.
Thus "Stop" does not interrupt data acquisition but merely triggers the computation
of the results.

Selection: 0 Stop

1 Start

Default value: Stop

Restrictions: Only active if the value of the statistical mode CE = 1. The values
are automatically output only if the parameter CI or CJ has bee set
accordingly and enough measured values (2) have been acquired.

has been set accordingly and enough measured values (2)
have been acquired.

CH Statistics pause (on/off)

Pause "on" suspends statistical data acquisition. During this period, statistical values
are not computed. Pause "off" resumes statistical data acquisition. If statistical
evaluation is stopped by one of the conditions given by parameter CE, the pause is
automatically switched off and statistical evaluation terminates normally.

309 Not enough valid measurements

310 Large absolute deviation of measured value

Default value: 0

Restrictions: For additional information, please refer to the chapter "Elimination
of malfunctions". Output selection CK or CL are not possible,
since this message follows automatically when a result should
have been output, whereas an error has occurred (e.g., query
DA: answer EB301).

EC Position 1or X (value)
The position is defined as the deviation of the center of the measured object relatively
to the middle of the existing measuring field. It is used for centering the object to be
measured and to determine its motion in the measuring field.
The output rate can be defined by the usual output intervals CI or CJ. The position
EC can be measured with all measuring heads but, in the case of multiple axes
sensors, refers to the X-axis only (see also EX ‑ EZ). When performing penetration
depth measurements, the deviation of the origin of the measured object relatively to
the middle of the existing measuring field will be computed.
ED Tolerance alarm minimum (case)

This message is transmitted when a measured quantity is smaller than the tolerance
BD. The value transmitted is the number of the object causing the alarm. The alarm
appears only once, as long as the value is out of tolerance. As soon as the value is
within tolerance again, the alarm is over, as signaled by the transmission of EF and
the maximum excess value. The alarm depends on the mode defined in parameter
CB. The alarm signals are only transmitted automatically when an output period is
defined (CI/CJ not 0).
When queried, ED always contains the number of the first measured quantity which
is smaller than BD. This means that if two quantities (out of 2) are smaller than BD,
the signal is ED1. If there is no excess, ED = 0.

Selection: 0 No alarm

1 Measured quantity 1 (DA or FA)

2 Measured quantity 2 (DC or FC)

3 Measured quantity 3 (DE or FE)

EE Tolerance alarm maximum (case)
This message is transmitted when a measured quantity is larger than the tolerance
BE. The value transmitted is the number of the object causing the alarm. The alarm
appears only once, as long as the value is out of tolerance. As soon as the value is
within tolerance again, the alarm is over, as signaled by the transmission of EF and
the maximum excess value. The alarm depends on the mode defined in parameter
CB. The alarm signals are only transmitted automatically when an output period is
defined (CI/CJ not 0).
When queried, EE always contains the number of the first measured quantity which
is larger than BE. This means that if two quantities (out of 2) are larger than BE, the
signal is EE1. If there is no excess, EE = 0.

Selection: 0 No alarm

1 Measured quantity 1 (DA or FA)

2 Measured quantity 2 (DC or FC)

3 Measured quantity 3 (DE or FE)

4 Measured quantity 4 (DG or FG)

5 Measured quantity 5 (MA or FP)

Default value: 0


EF Tolerance alarm end (value)
This signal is transmitted as soon as a measured quantity is again within tolerance
after an out-of-tolerance situation. The signal is output together with the value of the
largest excess during the out-of-tolerance period. When the measured object leaves
the measuring field (end of a bar, rod), the out-of-tolerance period is also over. An
end signal is transmitted for each excess and separately for measured quantities 1 to
4. The alarm signals are only output automatically when an output period is defined
(CI/CJ not 0).

Default value: 0.0

As the values of this group are not monitored (KA, KB), they are more sensitive to
disturbances during measurement. This means that they are less reliable than those
of groups D, E and F. They are not acquired with simultaneous measurement.
GA Minimum 1 (value)
GB Maximum 1 (value)
The smallest or largest value of measured quantity 1 during the averaging time.
The offset value is included (see also DA).
GC Minimum 2 (value)
GD Maximum 2 (value)
The smallest or largest value of measured quantity 2 during the averaging time.
The offset value is included (see also DC).
GE Minimum 3 (value)
GF Maximum 3
The smallest and the largest value of measured quantity 3 during the averaging time,
including the offset values (see also DE).
GJ Minimum XY or XYZ (value)

GK Maximum XY or XYZ
The smallest and the largest value of measured quantity 1 or 2. If the measuring head
has 3 axes, measured quantity 3 is also included in the evaluation. These values are
identical to GA and GB in the case of a single-axis measuring head.
5.10.1 Pinhole detection for CAPAC
A status control signals holes or bare spots on the product (pinhole) during production.
The measurement is not interrupted by the message.
GP CAPAC: Hole or bare spot detected

This status register is set to 1 as soon as the device detects a hole or a bare spot.
The status is retained until the register is queried (or until its content is issued in the
automatic output mode). The register remains at zero as long as no alarm is present.

Restrictions: AB, CK, CL

Default value: No alarm (0)

Limitation: Only valid if a CAPAC measurement system is connected.

5.11 MONITORING GROUP K
KA Relative monitoring (case)

This parameter fixes the range of the tolerated deviation. If a measured value is out-
of-range, error EB304 is output. If the measured object is such that sizable changes
occur (e.g. with minimal value processing), this range should rather be chosen too large.

Selection: 0 No monitoring

1 ± 50%

2 ± 25%

3 ± 12.5%

4 ± 6.25%

5 ± 3.13%

6 ± 1.56%

Default value: 4 ± 6.25%

KB Absolute monitoring (value)
This parameter fixes the absolute range around the average of the previous measured
values. If a measured value exceeds this range (± KB), error EB310 is output. If
parameter KB or the averaging time CA has been set to 0.0, this monitoring does not
take place.

Default value: 0.0 monitoring switched off


Restrictions: Value in the range 0.0 – 9999.99, averaging time CA not 0.0

KC Position Control Parameter (value)

This parameter defines the maximum permissible absolute zone for the position
variation relatively to the previously measured value (single scan). If the measured
value exceeds the defined zone (± KC), an error message EB308 is generated. If
parameter KC is set to 0.0 or if more than one object have to be measured, then the
position control is disabled.

Default value: 0.0 control switched off


Restrictions: Value between 0.0 and 9999.99, for 1 object only (AE 1)

KD Rod signal suppression (case)

This parameter makes it possible to filter out a number of rod signals (no object in
measuring field). It lets you determine how many times this measured condition must
occur for a particular message (EAx). This averaging time suppresses unnecessary
rod messages in case of unstable measuring conditions. As long as the number of
signals is not exceeded, the last valid measured value is output. If the parameter is
set to 0, any rod message is output immediately (delay max. 1 single scan).


1 First signal suppressed

:

99 99 signals upraised

Default value: 2

KE Suppression of rod entry signal (Selection)
This parameter enables filtering out a certain number of rod entry signals. This
parameter sets the number of times this measuring state must successively occur to
trigger the appropriate message EA1.


1 – 99 Number of signals to suppress

Default value: 0 No suppression

SE Range for analog output no. 1 (value)
This parameter allows to define the output range in mm for 100 % of the D/A
converter, i.e. 0 to +10 V and 0 to -10 V.

Example: an object with a diameter of 8.500 mm is measured. The parameter
SE is set to 10.000, resulting an output voltage of 8.500 V.

Also a deviation can be output. For it, an appropriate deviation must be selected at
the output selection CR (e.g. DB). Additionally another nominal value BA must be
input. In this configuration, the output voltage of the D/A converter can vary between
-10 V and +10 V.

Example: an object with a diameter of 8.500 mm is measured. The parameter
SE is set to 1.000. The nominal value BA is 9.000, resulting an
output voltage of -0.500 V.

The gauge is now calibrated and ready to operate. At the end, the main parameters can be output as a
check with CM [Enter] and tuned further if necessary.
1)
See the instruction manual of the measuring head
2)
It might happen that an error message EB300 or EB302 is output if the gauge is operated for the
very first time. This however doesn't affect the calibration in any way.
3)
How much time the calibration takes depends on the gauge. It may need approximately up to 6 s
4)
The calibration can also be unsuccessful and terminate with EB305 (see Error Description).
Depending on the gauge and the calibration process, the acknowledgement may also be ADO
or ADU

7.2 ELIMINATION OF MALFUNCTIONS
When trying to get rid of a malfunction which belongs to the EB300 group, it will be
assumed that the interface parameters are correct and that the measuring head has
been calibrated. Always check the parameters with the CM command first.

the description of the parameters
EB300 No video signal, fault in No power for measuring head, try cleaning measuring
laser or light source window, replace laser or light source.
EB301 Error at edge of Clean measuring window, check chopper signal (see
measuring field or wrong Instruction Manual for this measuring head), check that the
chopper signal measured object is correctly positioned in the measuring
field, don't forget the commutation between AQ measuring
modes
EB302 Too many objects in the Clean measuring windows; as a possibility, also check
measuring field video signal (see Instruction Manual for this measuring
head). Check number of objects to measure
EB303 Unstable measurement or The measured object should be better guided; as a
too few measured objects possibility, adjust parameter AU (Error suppression); also
check video signal as a further possibility (see Instruction
Manual for this measuring head). Check number of objects
to measure
EB304 Large relative deviation of The measured object should be better guided, check
measured value surface of measured object (water droplets, slag, etc.); as
a possibility, try to adjust parameter AU (Error suppression)
or KA (Relative monitoring)
EB305 Error in calibration Calibrate or recalibrate according to the present Instruction
procedure Manual and the Instruction Manual for this measuring head

measured position possibility, adjust parameter AU (Error suppression) or
KC (Position control); also check video signal as a further
possibility (see Instruction Manual for this measuring head)
EB309 Not enough valid Better guiding of the measured object. Surface control
measurements (waterdrops, scale, etc.). Possibly AU (Error suppression)
or KB (Absolute monitoring) parameters need to be
adjusted. Measuring head with higher data rate: internal
mirror numbering missing or incorrect
EB310 Large absolute deviation Check surface of measured object; as a possibility,
of measured value improve the way the object is guided, check parameter
KB (Absolute monitoring); as a further possibility, adjust
parameter AU (Error suppression) in case of water
