CATCIR Delivery Files
Each of the GUIs is provided with a User Guide and a Quick Start Guide that illustrate operation of
the equipment. Within 30 minutes of receiving the equipment, the user will be able to measure range,
operate a network, operate as a monostatic radar, or capture bistatic radar scans and RF
communications channel waveforms. A list of the User Guide and Quick Start Guide documentation
is provided below:

2.4 APIs and GUIs as Development Tools
This section provides a high level summary of the APIs and discusses how the GUIs can be used as a
development tool.
In general, the GUIs perform as one would expect. They allow the user to configure the P440s,
initiate range and radar requests, move in and out of a network, move to and from different sleep
states, measure the P440 temperature, display status, hardware and software version numbers as well
as other useful information. In addition, they allow the user to display and log collected data as well
as all communications between the Host and the P440. The radar GUI also bandpasses the received
data and provides motion filter and detection filter processing.
2.4.1 Ranging Measurement with RangeNet
The RangeNet API allows the user to configure the P440 and take range measurements. In fact, it
supports three different forms of range measurements, all of which will be described in this section.
But the types of range measurements taken are less important than the technique used to take the
underlying data. The P440 uses a bank of receivers to digitize the received signal such that it is
possible to produce an image of the received waveform. This image is produced with a resolution of
61 ps, which is twice the Nyquist rate. (An example is shown in
Figure 1
.)
