HDL-64E User’s Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of a Velodyne HDL-64E High Definition Lidar Sensor. This
product represents a breakthrough in sensing technology by providing exponentially more
information about the surrounding environment than previously possible.  

This guide first covers installation and wiring, then addresses output packet construction and
interpretation, and finally discusses the serial interface to the unit and software updates.

This manual is undergoing constant revision and improvement – check
