Reset  Device  -  forces  the  device  to  be  rebooted.  This  button  does  not  help  when  the  device  is  in 
UltraScope mode.  
 
Set Bootloader - forces the device to stop normal operation and enter in bootloader mode for updating the 
firmware. Please read section 7 of this User's Guide for details about updating the firmware. 
 
Check FW Update - forces the device to stop normal operation and poll specified IP address for firmware 
updates. The utility will offer the user to perform the update when a new firmware file is found. 
 
Get Range - reads maximum device operating range in cm. The device is not capable to detect an object 
beyond this range. 
 
Set Range - programs the device maximum operating range in cm. The device is not capable to detect an 
object beyond this range. The value is taken from the edit box below the Set Range button. 
 
Operating  Range  Criteria  -  selects  the  criterion  which  defines  operating  range.  Sensitivity  defines  the 
range  for  breathing  detection.  Visibility  defines  the  range  for  motion  detection.  Sensitivity  range  is 
always shorter than visibility range.  
 
Get DSP Params - reads the device settings that affect on Alarm, Presence and Motion Flags appearance.  
 
Set  DSP  Params  -  programs  the  device  settings  that  affect  on  Alarm,  Presence  and  Motion  Flags 
appearance. 
 
The following DSP Params can be read or programmed:    
 

 

Sampling Rate, Hz - read-only value - specifies  

 

Noise Threshold, units – specifies sensitivity of the device. The smaller value of the threshold – 
the higher sensitivity has  the device in  terms  of  live object  detection. On the other hand, setting 
the  threshold  too  low  will  make  the  device  over  sensitive  and  the  device  will  be  detecting  live 
objects even in empty premises. Default value is 100 000 energy units. 

 

Motion  Threshold,  units  –  specifies  device  reaction  on  strong  movements.  The  smaller  value  of 
the threshold – the higher probability that the device sets Motion Flag when the object is detected. 
Default value is 10 000 000 000 energy units. 

 

Alarm On Delay, s. – determines degree of confidence for the alarm event. The bigger “Alarm On 
Delay”  is  –  the  higher  confidence  of  the  alarm  event.  On  the  other  hand,  setting  “Alarm  On 
Delay” too big will delay reporting moment about empty premises from the real event further in 
time. Default value is 10 seconds. 

 

Alarm  Off  Delay,  s.  –  reduces  probability  of  false  live  object  detection.  The  bigger  “Alarm  Off 
Delay”  is  –  the  lower  probability  of  the  false  live  object  detection.  On  the  other  hand,  setting 
“Alarm Off Delay” too big will delay reporting moment about live object detection from the real 
event further in time. Default value is 10 seconds. 

 
Get MAC address - displays MAC address of the device. 
 
Get Country Code - displays country code for Wi-Fi operation. Applicable only to the devices with Wi-Fi 
option enabled. 
 
Get  Network  Mode  -  displays  selected  network  mode,  either  AP  for  Wi-Fi  access  point  or  STA  for 
network station (wired or wireless) or TERMINAL for NO/NC relay contacts.
