=== 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). Start your PC and plug the Ethernet cable to it.
=== Source Power ===

=== Wait few minutes ===
Once you apply power, please wait a few minutes while IGEPv2 board boots with the default firmware flashed on the internal memory. You will see LEDs from IGPv2 board blinking until system has booted, then you will see a fixed lighted green LED.
=== Run Web Browser on PC ===
Run a web browser on your PC with the ability to work with gnuplot4.6. We recommend the use of "Mozzilla FireFox" web browser that you can install and download for free at: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/
=== Connect to Radar IP ===
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.

== Make your first measurement ==

== Basic FMCW Radar Theory ==
Each point of the graph is one combined position-speed measurement, position in orange 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 "Technical" section ==
-T 1000
This will program the modulator with a 1ms modulation ramp. If you click the "RUN" button you will see in pseudo-real time the time domain or the frequency domain graph of the IF radar signal.
== What is "Files" section ==
This is the list of 2048 samples captured on the measurement. You can select all or a part of the samples and copy to a text file for further data processing, for example with matlab or other powerful programs.
