Result display
Shows the millimeter wave image of the data collected from the reference reflector pins
during the scan.
The image indicates the effects of the presence of the object and enables you to evalu-
ate immediately its characteristics, for example, the homogeneity.
You can hide and unhide the image with the arrow icon ( ).
Numeric results and indicator
Two-way mean attenuation within the frequency range 76
GHz - 81
GHz, calculated as
the arithmetical mean of the values registered by the pins used.
If the attenuation is below the threshold, the indicator is green.
Bumper type selection
Selects the configuration for the measurement (type of bumper you are measuring).
The configuration determines which pins of the reference reflector to use for the mea-
