The ILD1700 Tool starts with the main page (see Fig.  2 Main Menu). The 
button 

Start Sensor Configuration

 switches to the ILD1700 set-up page, the 

button 

Start Data Acquisition

 switches to a page for ILD1700 data acquisition 

and storage. These pages can also be started using the corresponding items 
of the menu bar. The language can only be selected using the menu bar,

3.1  Show Sensor Manual 

If you have a PDF-viewer installed on your computer the documentation of 
the ILD1700 Sensor/Controller is shown. Since the documentation is available 
in German and English only, you get the English version if you do not select 
German in the language menu.  

3.2  Start Sensor Configuration 

Starts a sub-program that offers to read out the current sensor configuration, 
store it to a file, load predefined configuration files and set-up the 
sensor/controller.     

3.3  Start Data Acquisition 

Measures the distance to an object. This measurement application buffers 
up to 60 seconds of the measured data for storing and to take closer look at. 
This buffer can be reviewed online using the zoom buttons and the scrollbar.
