Be aware of the radar angle of detection. 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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; HORIZONTAL: &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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <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; [[Image:LAMBDA WIDE ANGLEss.jpg]]&nbsp;  <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;&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; VERTICAL:  &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:LAMBDA NARROW ANGLEssFIELD OF VIEW.jpg]]<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; <br>
=== Wait few minutes ===
<br>
Do not worry if your home page differs from the picture, there are some different versions and you will have the last one for sure. Congratulations!
You have successfully connected with radar. Now you can start to make measurements and learn about radar possibilities. Do not worry if your home page differs from the picture, there are some different format versions but are equivalent in features.  <br>
== Make your first measurement ==
To see the time domain IF radar signal in real time, you can click on the icon "f(t)": <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; [[Image:WAVE 2m NEWs.jpg]]<br>
Be aware the application demo is designed to work on an environment with only a single target scenario so it is very probably you may see quite different signals than the presented here due to multiple reflections in your room, but this is normal, and this is the ability of radar technology to detect multiple objects at the same time, we encourage you to develop your own application and process the IF signal information to detect not only one but several objects. See next guides if you want to learn more about this. To be sure your radar works well, we recommend you find an adequate environment without multiple reflections before to make any wrong conclusions.<br>
== What is Time domain signal ==
<br>
== Compare Measurements ==
Now you can move the radar and make measurements over the wall at two different distances. For example, make a measurement with the radar at 2m distance and another measurement with the radar at 5m distance. You should get similar results as the following for 2m and 5m in order:<br>
<br>  MEASUREMENT AT 2 meters (TIME and FFT):  [[Image:WAVE 2m -T 600 NEWs.jpg]] &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;[[Image:FFT 2m -T 600 NEWsCOMPARING_RADAR_MEASUREMENTS.jpg]]  <br>
<br>
MEASUREMENT AT 5 meters (TIME and FFT):
 
[[Image:WAVE 5m -T 600 NEWss.jpg]]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Image:FFT 5m -T 600 NEWs.jpg]]<br>
 
<br>
 
<br>
It can be clearly shown how the IF radar signal increases frequency when the target gets more and more distance from the equipment. Look at the increment in periods (frequency) in the time domain signal, and the FFT peak has moved towards higher frequencies.<br>
<br>  <br>
== What is "Speed/Range" section ==
In the right column of the Home Page we can see three different applications of the radar. Only "Speed/Range" demo application is activated, please if you are interested in the others contact with us at mailto:radar@iseebcn.com
Each point of the graph is one combined position-speed measurement, position in green color and speed in blue color.
You can see on next chapter examples of real traffic measurements where you can see how the radar track the vehicles measuring its position and distance.
== What is "Parameters" section ==
This is the most interesting feature of the web application demo. By clicking on "Parameters" icon you will get access to the heart of the radar:

<br>
 <br>
=== SECTION-4: RADAR MEASUREMENT<br> ===
= Managing Files<br> =
IGEP RADAR LAMBDA offers several ways to manage its files. Here we present some of the most interesting but of course you can use others if you prefer:
<br>
== Files with web demo ==
You can We have already seen on previous section how to manage files with the web demo application by entering . You click on its "Parameters" icon, then you go to "List Files" sectionand select the file you want. <br>
If you click By clicking on "Download " option you obtain a list of 2048 values that represent the captured samples if you have selected "Wave" files or the FFT values if you will see something like this: have selected "FFT" files.<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;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Image:WEB-FILES-contents.jpg]]  This is the list of 2048 samples captured on this measurement.<br>  You can use the mouse and select all or only one part of the data, copy and paste to a text file for later processingwith other applications like excel, labview or matlab.
You can also click on "Edit" section of your browswer, then click on "Select All", then click on "Copy" and then paste all the data into a text file.
== Files using WinSCP ==
You have a second option to manage files by using the [http://winscp.net/eng/index.php WinSCP]free application.<br>
Once installed you only have to connect to the radar and start managing files as with other explorer applications.You can edit, copy, paste, remove and rename files on an easy way.
 
<br>
<br>
Where each row shows the result of each of the 5 consecutive measurements, in this particular case it was measured a fixed target at a 3.9 meters distance from the radar.
NOTE that it only takes about 9ms time to make each measurement.
NOTE also that the file names with the ADC&nbsp;captured data are generated but the files are not saved. They are only saved if you add the command -w
NOTE that it takes about 100ms time to make each measurement. This is more than previous example due to now the equipment has to write one file after each measurement.<br>
NOTE also that the file names with the ADC&nbsp;captured data are now generated and saved because we have used parameter -w. You should find the 20 generated files in "radar" directory. If you look at the contents of one of these files you will see something like this:<br>
&nbsp;6384.000000<br>&nbsp;6260.000000<br>&nbsp;6156.000000<br>&nbsp;6083.000000<br>&nbsp;6043.000000<br>&nbsp;6036.000000<br>&nbsp;6047.000000<br>&nbsp;6075.000000<br>&nbsp;6099.000000<br>&nbsp;6107.000000<br>&nbsp;6080.000000<br>&nbsp;6012.000000<br>&nbsp;5888.000000<br>&nbsp;5711.000000<br>&nbsp;5467.000000<br>&nbsp;5164.000000<br>&nbsp;4819.000000<br>&nbsp;4443.000000<br>&nbsp;4056.000000<br>&nbsp;3652.000000<br>&nbsp;3267.000000<br>&nbsp;2903.000000<br>&nbsp;2568.000000<br>&nbsp;2268.000000<br>&nbsp;2008.000000<br>&nbsp;1787.000000<br>&nbsp;1599.000000<br>&nbsp;1439.000000<br>&nbsp;1316.000000<br>&nbsp;1215.000000<br>&nbsp;1135.000000<br>&nbsp;1083.000000<br>&nbsp;1052.000000<br>&nbsp;1048.000000<br>&nbsp;1087.000000<br>
The ADC captured files can be used to make your own data processing algorithms.
<br>
==== Example 3: ====
The first three digits of the file name are automatically generated depending on the modulation sweep time. You can check the [http://www.isee.biz/component/zoo/item/igep-radar-lambda-hardware-reference-manual user manual] fore more details.
