4.2. Data Description

Data displayed in the Raw Detections dialog box allow the user to precisely define

the desired detection parameters (View menu> Raw Detections).

Figure 14: Raw Detections dialog box

An object crossing the beam of the module is detected and measured. It is qualified

by its distance, segment position, and amplitude. The quantity of light reflected back

to the module by the object generates the amplitude. The bigger the reflection, the

higher the amplitude will be.
