    The HDL-32E sensor needs no configuration, calibration, or other setup to begin producing usable data. Once the unit is mounted and wired, supplying it power will cause it to start scanning and producing data packets. The quickest way to watch the HDL-32E in action is to use Digital Sensor Recorder (DSR), the viewer software included with the unit. ...

    Alternatively , the calibration data can be found in the included db.xml file found on the CD included with the HDL- 32E. The calibration data for vertCorrection is the vertical correction angle for each laser, as viewed from the back of the unit and stated in degrees. Positive values have the laser pointing up and negative values have the laser po ...

    External GPS Time Synchronization The HDL- 32E can synchronize its data with precis ion GPS-supplied time pulses to enable users to ascertain the exact firing time of each laser in any particular packet. This capability requires a GPS receiver generating a sync pulse and the $GPRMC NMEA record over a dedicated RS-232 serial port. The output from th ...
