Additional display information
Distance measuring procedure includes instant statistical processing of the package of single measuring sessions. If there is more than one measured target in the field of view, the embedded software estimates the most probable one by calculating the number of reflected pulses multiplied by the target statistical weight. This mechanism allows automatic mitigation of the influence of obstacles like rain, flakes, trees, wires and so on.
Qualitative result of the statistical processing is presented on the Display as a message TARGET REFLECTION (5, Fig 3). There are three statistical qualifications of the reflected signal:
Reliability of ranging depends on the number of impulses that reflect from the target and reach the unit. The unit informs the user:
TARGET REFLECTION LOW – ranging results have low statistical reliability,
TARGET REFLECTION MED – ranging results have
medium statistical reliability,
TARGET REFLECTION HIGH – ranging results have
high statistical reliability.
