Wiring laser sensor to AXBB-E Analog Input

Hi folks
this is my first post in this forum! So be kind please :D

I recently got an axbb-e to retrofit an old isel 3040. The board is amazing. Easy to wire and really easy to tune the software.
But I need to setup a measuring laser sensor to make some work for a client of mine.

I need to measure and save the data of a lot of point from a piece that I have to replicate. So basically I need to build a 3D scanner :D

Software side I don't have problems (I'm a software developer from my youth... and I'm near 40' now ?_? ).
I have found this nice laser sensor from Panasonic (I don't have bought the sensor yet). I think I can "easily" develop a plugin for UCCNC to implement my needs using this sensor.

and this is the pin out of the sensor

So basically other than the power supply for the sensor (24V) I have and 5V analog output.
Do you think I can wire the Analog voltage output to AI1 and the analog ground to the 5V0 (power out pin) of the board?
I found this in the manual... do you thinks is compatible with the wiring I want to make?

If this is possibile I "just" need to implement a loop with the reading of the analog value on the analog input and process the data to be stored in a 3D model.

But before to buy and expensive sensor and to maybe fry a controller I just want to be sure about the wiring :D

I'm finally able to update this post.

I made a "risky" test today. I wired the sensor directly to the AXBB-E board.
The 24V power supply for the sensor is the same as for the board. The output analog signal is now wired to the AI2 pint.
The value readed from the AI2 is much stable compared to the previous test (using an arduino as COM interface).
