The best measurement results can be achieved if the following factors are considered:
- Select suitable sensor according to the application requirenment: Accuracy, measuring distance, measuring speed, temperature range
- Optimal measuring surface: Flat, fine, light, matt (for more details, see Optimal measureing surface)
- Good measuring conditions: Reduce ambient light (e.g. shieldings, shadow, darkness, etc.), stable temperatures, clear and clean air (no dust, fog, rain, etc.)
- Select appropriate sensor configuration: Suitable measuring characteristic, longer measurement times, filter options (e.g. Moving average, error suppression), etc.
