4) The P-P value for the deviation in the digital measurement values at the measurement center range has been converted for the measurement center distance.
5) Indicates error with respect to the ideal linear values for digital displacement output when standard objects were measured by SUNX. It may vary depending on the types of objects being measured.
6) This beam diameter is the size at the measurement center distance. These values were defined by using 1/e2 (13.5 %) of the center light intensity. If there is a slight leakage of light outside the normal spot diameter and if the periphery surrounding the sensing point has a higher reflectivity than the sensing point itself, then the results may be affected.
