= Overview =
This is the 1/3 chapter of the Getting Started with IGEP RADAR LAMBDA Tutorial Guide. In this first chapter, we will learn:
<br>
 
== Identify your Radar ==
 
First of all you should identify which kind of radar do you have.
 
IGEP RADAR SENSOR ORION can be an stand alone radar sensor or it can be plugged with any of 2 different processor boards: IGEPv2 or IGEP COM MODULE.
 
When combined with IGEPv2 the result is called IGEP RADAR LAMBDA, while when combined with IGEP COM MODULE the result is called IGEP RADAR EPSILON.
 
The next picture show both combinations:
 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Image:RADAR COMBINATIONSs.jpg]]<br>
 
== Identify the different parts of the radar sensor ORION ==
 
It is very important you are able to identify the basic parts of the radar in order to avoid wrong set ups of measurement.
 
The next picture show which is the 24GHz transmitting antenna, the receiving antenna, the transmitter (TX) and the receiver (RX):

You can also take a look at the bottom face:<br>

JL1 gives you access to the VCO signal
 
JD1 is the modulation signal
 
JD2 is the synchronism (you can use this signal to visualise the others on an oscilloscope)
 
JF1 is the IF signal
 
JC2 is the expansion connector for IGEPv2
 
JC4 and JC3 are the expansion connectors for IGEP&nbsp;COM MODULE
 
JP1 is the power connector
== Place the Radar on a stable surface ==
Place the radar over your desk and oriented with the ORION board (antenna) facing a wall of your office with nothing in betweenin order to have a clearly dominant reflection. A distance of about 3 meters between the radar and the wall would be good to make the a first measurement.
<br>
=== Network ===
You may now plug the Ethernet cable into the 10/100 Ethernet jack of the IGEPv2 board of the radar to get network access. The default firmware configures the Ethernet device with static ip address (192.168.2.232)189. It is possible to use also 192.168.5.1 or, if you want to be connected to a WiFi network, then you must use 192.168.6.1.  Start your PC and plug the Ethernet cable to it.
=== Source Power ===

The radar will only detect objects within its field of view. The angle of detection is about 24º in horizontal direction and about 12º in vertical direction:<br>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Image:FIELD OF VIEW.jpg]]
=== Wait few minutes ===
=== Connect to Radar IP ===
Put the radar IP 192.168.2.232 189 on the web browser. If the radar has already started you will see the Home page of the web radar application demo, if not, please be patient and wait a little bit more until the radar starts. You will see a home page similar to this one:  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Image:WEB HOME PAGE NEWs.jpg]]<br>  <br>  Congratulations!
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; [[Image:WEB-HOME PAGEsYou have successfully connected with radar. Now you can start to make measurements and learn about radar possibilities.jpg]]
Do not worry if your home page differs from the picture, there are some different format versionsbut are equivalent in features.
Congratulations! You have connected to the radar for the first time.&nbsp; <br>
