The Range plot element of the 1D Plot View is able to display up to four different range plots:

Binned Range: Plots the average range over all pixels that are determined by the pixel binning algorithm. This value
represents the current range in meters.

Smoothed Binned Range: Plots a time based moving average of the Binned Range. To adjust the algorithm of the time-
based moving average, go to the 1D Plot Options View inside the Options tab. A greater SMA data buffer size may
result in a slower moving visualization.
Figure 20: Generic Data View Options
Choose between two different algorithms used for calculation of the averaged measurement results:
– Simple Moving Average: The mean calculated of the previous N data without any weighting. The SMA Data Buffer
Size defines the magnitude used for SMA calculations.
– Exponentially Weighted Moving Average: A type of an infinite impulse response filter that applies exponentially
decreasing weighting factors. The weighting for each older datum decreases exponentially but never reaches zero.
EMA Weight implies the quantifier used for the calculation of the EMA. Lower values result in less weighting of past
measurement outcome and thus longer averaging times.

Sigma of Binned Range: The blue cloud determines the current time based on moving the standard deviation of the
sensor signal; inside the 1D Plot Options, choose between a deviation width of 1 Sigma and 3 Sigma.
