•
Floor Type : Output from the floor type algorithm on the current floor type status (“Hard Floor” or “So ft
Floor”)
•
Floor/Cliff Data : Numerical output values from both algorithms
•
Magnitude : Displays the magnitude of the current echo measured by the sensor. The x-axis shows the
range samples (which translates to time/distance) provided by the sensor. The y-axis is the amplitude of
the received signal.
•
Cliff Depth Estimate : Shows the cliff depth estimate over time. To obtain the cliff depth, the sensor
height needs to be subtracted when the sensor is above the floor.
•
Floor Type Metric : The floor type metric plot shows the floor type metric over time with respect to the
adaptive threshold. If the metric is below the threshold, the floor type is considered as a soft floor. If the
metric is above the threshold, the floor type is considered as a hard floor.
3.2 SETTINGS
If settings are to be changed, this needs to be done before the board i s connected with the “Connect” button.
