1.2 overview the q4x sensor is a class 1 laser cmos sensor with a bipolar output. The normal sensor state is run mode. From run mode, the switch point value and lo/do selection can be changed and the selected teach method can be performed. The secondary sensor state is setup mode. From setup mode, t...

5.3 dual mode considerations for clear and transparent object detection the q4x is able to detect the very small changes caused by transparent and clear objects. A transparent object can be detected either by a change in intensity, distance, or by a double-peak reflection. The q4x sensor can be taug...
