N o t e s :
The HDL-64E generates 1 million points per second
• The lower block reports 250,000 points
• The upper block reports 750,000 points
There are three upper block packets then one lower block packet reported, then the pattern repeats.
** The first upper block measurement after the lower block measurement reports has half the
angular resolution.
