Sensors, Sensor Groups, and Systems
In GoPxL, the term sensor refers to a single device. A sensor group contains two or more sensors of the same model. The term "system" refers to the sensors or sensor groups as a whole. Currently GoPxL only supports a single sensor group in a system.

In this document, we will use the term multi-sensor to describe systems with two or more sensors. |
In a multi-sensor system, the scan data of the individual sensors in a sensor group is combined. So for example, in a multi-sensor G2 system, the profiles from the individual sensors are combined into a single, wider profile.
Sensors and sensor groups also have an associated "scan engine."

You may still see the term "scanner" in the GoPxL UI, SDK, and REST API. "Scanner" is equivalent to "sensor group." |
