Graphical User Interface
A free Graphical User Interface (GUI) is available, providing an easy way to visualize the
data from your TeraRanger Evo 64px sensor. This is useful for demonstration, testing
purposes and checking some of the basic parameters of the sensor. It also provides a way
to easily export raw distance data and upgrade the firmware running on the device.
The GUI is available for download here:
GUI Download
. (See “Download” section of the
TeraRanger Evo 64px product page).
