On this Innovation Lab page, we will explain how to implement distance measurement for industrial automation, level sensing and other use cases. It is possible to measure distances to various materials including carbon fibre and metal, with sub-millimeter accuracy. It also works well under harsh conditions, which makes it ideal for industrial environments.
HOW TO GET STARTED
HARDWARE
One XE121 Evaluation Board is connected to one XC120 Connector Board and one XS121 Satellite Board.
SOFTWARE
To get started with the Evaluation kit and the Exploration tool, visit the EXPLORATION TOOL page and the Acconeer documentation page to find out information.
EXPLORATION TOOL
First, click “Distance detector” on the left-side menu in the Exploration Tool. Then, you can adjust the settings on the right-hand menu. Once the settings are adjusted, click “Start measurement” on the right-side menu to start.
