   - *1. Load impedance (between OUT-GND) is set at more than 10 k  . 

   - *2. tr1: Rise time of output voltage from 10% to 90%. 

   - *3. tr2: Setup time from PLS rising edge to measured output value rising edge. 

- *2. The sensitivity is defined as slope of the line and it represents the 

variation in the output voltage per unit length between different products.

- *3. This is the value of the electrical noise width in the output signal converted to a distance under the following conditions. 

   - (1) Noise width is measured in a waveform after the four times average with an oscilloscope. 

   - (2) Ripple noise in the power supply voltage (Vcc): 10 mVp-p max. 

   - (3) Distance from mounting reference plane to target: 6.5 mm 

   - (4) Resolution is measured by the voltage of response delay time (tr2). 

- *4. This is the peak-to-peak value of the deviation of the signal output from a straight line. 

   - A linearity of 2% F.S. indicates the following value: 

   - (1) Distance full-scale converted value: 2 mm × 0.02 = 0.04 mm (40  m) 

   - (2) Output voltage converted value: 1.4 mV/  m × 40  m = 56 mV (for a sensor with a sensitivity of 1.4 mV/  m)

   - Output voltage depends on input. After setup time tr2, output signal is obtained according to the distance. 

   - After setup, output signal is updated every 80 micro seconds. 

- Update every 80 micro seconds. Output signal is reset at pulse input signal falling low level, and start setup over again after next input signal applying.
