Caution
The SF23/B laser rangefinder contains a laser and should never be aimed at a person or an animal. Do not look
at the beam directly with optical instruments.
● Download the LightWare Studio application to your PC or laptop.
● Instal and start the application by following the prompts.
● Connect the SF23/B to the PC using a serial to USB adaptor.
● The SF23/B will automatically be detected by the application.
● Settings options will be displayed in the main window along with a visualisation of the data coming from the SF23/B.
● Change the settings to suit your application.
● Unplug the serial to USB adaptor.
Once the settings have been entered, your host controller can communicate with the SF23/B through the serial port. API support
is available from the LightWare API repository. To test the serial port the LightWare Communication Adaptor is available.
Firmware updates and additional features will become available from time to time. These can be installed into the SF23/B using a
serial to USB adaptor and the LightWare Studio application.
