3.2.3 Power supply
The starting voltage needs to be 5V, the starting current needs to be 1500mA, the normal working current
is 500mA. However the ripple coefficient of the power supply should not be more than 40mV. Factory
setting is D10 Lidar automatically rotates and measures after power-on.
4. Software setting
4.1 Driver installation
After USB driver is successfully installed, connect the Lidar to the computer to confirm that it
recognizes the com port, and then turn on the power. If the power is turned on first and then connected,
there is a possibility that the computer mouse will be out of control. Please pay attention to the
operation sequence. Run the "FaseLase LiDAR Point Cloud Data Acquisition and Analysis System.exe’
program " and it can be used normally.
Some PC can automatically install the driver after LiDAR connected, if not, please download the
CP210X driver in our software package.
4.2 Data acquisition
To run ‘FaseLase LiDAR Point Cloud Data Acquisition and Analysis System.exe’ program, the
communication settings window (see figure 1) will popup. First, select device D20. Second, select
serial port number corresponding to the device. In fact, the serial port connected to the computer can
automatically be identified by the program. Third, select baud rate 921600. Fourth, click ‘Yes’ to enter
monitoring interface (see figure2). Baud rate: 921600 bps, Parity bit: None, Data bits: 8, Stop bit: 1

After entering the monitoring window, click the right mouse button in the grid chart, select System
Settings, change the maximum distance from the original 1000 to 2000 in System Settings, and then
click Yes, then start to measure, the measured effect of the monitor window is as Figure 3

Click the save icon to display the number of points detected in the current circle and the distance
and angle of each point.
Click the right mouse button in the monitor interface to select ‘one dimensional display’to observe
the real-time data changes of each circle detection.
Click Save icon , start to record the test data, after setting the name and path, click OK,
The record ends. Click Save button again, click Cancel in the pop-up window to complete the data
recording.
The recorded data can also be opened by clicking the Open History File button
5. Communication protocal
5.1 Output data format
5.1.1 Binary output: 4 bytes, including both distance and angle values.
5.1.2 Each distance test data packet has 4 bytes (labeled A, B, C, and D in sequence.,
each byte has 8 bits, corresponding to A7,A6,...,A1,A0, B7,B6,...,B1,B0, C7,C6,...,C1,C0.and
D7,D10,...,D1,D0.
5.1.3 The MSBs of the first 3 bytes are 0 (A7, B7, C7), and the MSB of the last byte is 1 (D7),
which indicates the end of the data pack. There are 4*7 = 28 bits valid data in each data packet.
A6, A5, A4 of byte A are the check bit. For the specific algorithm, please check the data check
algorithm in the next part.

A3, A2, A1, A0, B6, ... B0, C6 are measured distances values (a total of 12 bits), its range is
0~4000cm .
C5...C0, D6,...D0 are measured angle values (a total of 13 digits). Its range is 0~5759, the
angular accuracy is 1/16 degree.

5.2 Data check algorithm
Each character has 8 bits (bit7~bit0), each bit can be 0 or 1. The check bits A6,A5,A4 store the low 3
bit of sum of 1 of B,C,D 3 bytes, when check algorithm, first get the number of ‘1’in the 3 bytes of
B,C,D by looking up the table and then add them up, and then compare the lower 3 bits of the sum with
A6,A5,A4, if they are consistent, output the measurement results
unsigned char GetCrcPackage4Byte (unsigned char *buf)
{.
unsigned char B,C,D;
B = buf[1];
C = buf[2];
D = buf[3];
//cbit is a number table of 1corresponding to 0-255
static unsigned char cbit[256] = {
0,1,1,2,1,2,2,3,1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,1,2,2,3,2,3,3,4,2,3,3,4,3,4,4,5,

return (cbit[B]+cbit[C]+cbit[D])&0x07; } return the low 3 digits the sum of 1 in the 3 bytes of

5.3 Data analysis algorithm

//return distance value, if data check is not correct, return -1
