Safety and Scope

The RPLIDAR A2 system uses a low power infrared laser as its light source, and

drives it by using modulated pulse. The laser emits light in a very short time frame

which can ensure its safety to human and pets, and it reaches Class I laser safety

standard.

The modulated laser can effectively avoid the interference from ambient light and

sunlight during ranging scanning process, which makes RPLIDAR work excellent

in all kinds of indoor environment and outdoor environment without sunlight.

Data Output

During the working process, the RPLIDAR will output the sampling data via the

communication interface. And each sample point data contains the information in

the following table. If you need detailed data format and communication protocol,

please contact SLAMTEC.
