BeamPatternA beam pattern is plotted on a 2-dimensional graph to illustrate how the photoelectric receiver is designed to respond to its emitter. Maximum light energy occurs along the sensor’s optical axis. The light energy decreases towards the beam pattern boundaries. The horizontal axis usually shows the range of the sensor.
