Getting Started with the Silicon Radar
WebGUI
3.1 Understanding the User Interface
The SiRad Simple® Evaluation Kit is developed to demonstrate the functionality of Silicon Radar’s
transceiver chips as millimeter-wave distance and velocity sensor frontends. Once the WebGUI is
launched, the main window is displayed like shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9: Main panels of the Silicon Radar WebGUI
The Silicon Radar WebGUI consists of four main panels:
control panel on the left side,
main menu on the top of the screen - with the active view in orange,
scene/canvas itself - where the sensor data is displayed,
target list with the status fields on the right side of the screen (draggable).
The control buttons on the top left corner are used to connect the WebGUI to the sensor:
Connect:
is used to connect the WebGUI to the WebSocket provided by the Com2WebSocket tool,
which should be started before connecting the WebGUI.
Resend config
: used to send the current settings to the sensor. Usually, the settings made in the
WebGUI will immediately take effect on the sensor, however, this feature is useful when a sensor
was reset or reconnected.
Reset view
: resets the view area to use the maximal available window space for displaying the
data and centers the view in the view area.
