Optical Window

To make the RPLIDAR A2 working normally, please ensure proper space to be left

for its emitting and receiving laser lights when designing the host system. The

obscuring of the host system for the ranging window will impact the performance

and resolution of RPLIDAR A2. If you need cover the RPLIDAR A2 with translucent

materials or have other special needs, please contact SLAMTEC about the

feasibility.

Coordinate System Definition of Scanning Data

The RPLIDAR A2 adopts coordinate system of the left hand. The dead ahead of

the sensors is the x axis of the coordinate system; the origin is the rotating center

of the range scanner core. The rotation angle increases as rotating clockwise. The

detailed definition is shown in the following figure:
