Device - Settings – Logging 

In this menu, the following settings are available: 

  Logging mode 

o

 

Defines whether unit logs system events and measurements to a storage device. 

 

Stock units do not have a storage device installed and are therefore not 
ready for logging. 

 

The following settings are available: 

  Disabled 

  Log to SD card if available 

 

Log to USB stick if available (recommended)

 

 

Log to USB stick if available, use SD card as fallback

 

 

Device - Settings – Measurement Basics 

In this menu, the following settings are available: 

  Station mode 

o

 

Depending on the configuration the unit can either be run in secondary radar mode 
(master measures the distance to slave) or in primary radar mode (radar measures 
the distance to a reflective target) 

  Bandwidth mode 

o

 

The LPR

®

-1DHP-200 supports different bandwidth modes, which impact the sensors 

performance. For best accuracy, choose a large bandwidth. For maximum range and 
update rate, choose a small bandwidth. 

  Channel block 

o

 

The RF frequency range is grouped into several blocks. Each channel block defines a 
set of available sync channels. It is recommended to keep the default value for 
optimum performance  

  Sync channel 

o

 

The sync channel determines the actual center frequency and bandwidth of the radar 
signals and differentiates the LPR

®

-1DHP-200 links. The sync channel has to be the 

same for a pair of master and slave but different than that of any other LPR

®

-1DHP-

200 device in range. The sync channel with the lowest number provides the highest 
bandwidth in each channel block. 

 

 

Changing bandwidth mode, channel block or sync channel influences the 
sensors performance and reference plane. A recalibration and test of the 
installation (see chapter 6.4), is therefore necessary after changing these 
settings.
