Default Settings 

The default settings of the sensor are set to provide solid performance over a wide range of applications.  
Upon power-up the default settings are used, and operation begins.  Future updates will allow the module 
to retain the settings of the sensor from the last operation.  The default settings are listed in Table 1.

Operating Range 

The  maximum  speed  reported  is  determined  by  the  Sampling  Frequency.    For slow  moving  objects,  a 
sample rate of 5,000 (SV command) is perfectly fine.  The default setting of 10,000 (SX command) provides 
a detectable speed of up to 31.1 m/s (69.5 mph) while 20,000 (S2 command) provides up to 62.2 m/s 
(139.1 mph).  The accuracy of the reported speed increases  as the sample frequency goes down.  The 
range of values is summarized in Table 2.
