*1. Obtained by setting an OMRON standard measurement object at the measurement center distance and determining
       the average height of the beam line.
       The conditions are given in the table below. However, satisfactory resolution cannot e attained in strong
       electromagnetic fields.
       The minimum resolution of the ZG2-WDS8T/WDS3VT is 0.25 μm, even when the average number of operations is
       increased. Resolution does not go any lower.

       measurement object for the beam line.
       The CCD high-resolution mode is used. Linearity varies depending on the measurement object.

*3. A value attained by using an aluminum jig to secure the distance between the Sensor Head and the measurement
       object. The CCD standard mode is used.
*4. Defined as 1/e2 (13.5%) of the center light intensity.
       This may be influenced when light leakage also exists outside the defined area and the reflectivity of the light around
       the measurement object is higher than that of the measurement object.
*5. A typical value of the measurement range (width direction) near the measurement center distance.
       This is not a guaranteed value.
*6. Protection structure of connector area is IP40.

*1. The measurement cycles stated here are values for FIXED/AUTO sensitivity modes.
      The measurement cycle increases when the MULTI sensitivity/high-speed MULTI sensitivity mode
      is selected and according to other settings. When the high power mode is set to ON, the shortest
      measurement cycle becomes 95 ms regardless of the CCD mode setting. Also, when gang-mounting
      Controllers and Data Storage Units, the measurement cycle increases approximately 22 ms.
      The actual measurement cycle can be checked by the ECO monitor in RUN mode.
