## Menu System
The following functions are available using the sensor's menu system.
## Teaching the Sensor
|Sub-Menu|Options|Description|Navigate|
|---|---|---|---|
|Sensor mode|Color|The output is only active when the sensor sees a target color that matches a
taught color.|Menu > Sensor Mode > Color|
||Best Fit|The output that matches the target color best is active (at least two colors must
be taught to use this mode). One output will always be active when a color
target is present in this mode. (Not available on 1 output models.)|Menu > Sensor Mode > Best Fit|
|Teach
Methods|Color|The sensor is taught a single static color point.|Menu > Teach Q/C > Color|
||Color Scan|The sensor is taught a color space. The sensor will learn multiple color points
untilStopis pressed.|Menu > Teach Q/C > Color Scan|
|Tolerance|Adjustable 1 to 9|The tolerance adjustment populates after teaching in Color Mode.
The tolerance adjustment can also be accessed any time through the menu
system after a Color Mode teach has been completed.
Higher tolerance number results in more color variations accepted (Tolerance
levels range from 1-9). Tolerance is not available when using Best Fit Mode.|Menu > Confg Q > Tolerance|
## Output Configuration and Sensor Settings
|Sub-Menu|Description|Navigate|
|---|---|---|
|Smart Functions|The Smart Functions menu options set the delays and timers. On/Off Delays can be
programmed between 0 to 100 ms.
Turn off Impulse if a one-shot is needed.|Menu > Confg Q > SmartFunc|
|Outputs|Program the outputs individually to be normally open or normally closed.|Menu > Confg Q > NO/NC|
||Program the outputs as a group to be normally open or normally closed, to be PNP or
NPN, and to defne the output speed.
PNP/NPN and speed are not confgurable on an individual output.|Menu > Confg Q All|
|Sensor Settings|Restores the sensor to factory default settings.|Menu > Settings > Factory Reset|
