ABSTRACT:
A measurement system for measuring a parameter of a log is provided. A measuring device produces an emission in a direction of the log. A portion of the emission measures the parameter, such as log diameter, and communicates the diameter to the measuring device, which in turn communicates the diameter to a controller to selectively adjust converting equipment to vary the diameter.
