Introduction
This documentation provides supplementary information for Gocator 2375.
See Gocator 2300 & 2880 Series User Manual for information on how to configure and use the Gocator
web interface with a Gocator 2375, as well as for reference information on the device's protocols and
configuration files. Sections cited from Gocator 2300 & 2880 Series User Manual are shown in italics.

Consider this information in order to make best use of the product.

Gocator 2375 Rut-Scanning System Setup • Layout • 5
Rut-Scanning System Setup
The following sections describe how to set up a rut-scanning system.
Layout
The Gocator 2375 is designed to cover a scan width of up to 4.2 m by using 8 sensors mounted in
parallel.
The diagram above shows the clearance distance and measurement range required in a typical setup.
You can use the specification estimator (Gocator-2375_Specification_Estimator.xlsx) to calculate the X
and Z resolution of the sensors with different combinations of clearance distance and measurement
range.
System Setup
A typical Gocator 2375 system is set up as a multi-sensor system. The sensors are powered up using a
Master 400/800/1200/2400.

To wire up a Gocator 2375:
1. Connect the Gocator Power to Master cordset between the Power connector and an unused
port on the Master.
2. Connect the Gocator Ethernet cordset between the LAN connector and an Ethernet switch.
See the Master 400/800 and the Master 1200/2400 sections in Gocator 2300 & 2880 Series User Manual for
more information on how to install a Master.
Software Configuration
Each sensor is shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.1.10. Before you add a sensor to a multi-
sensor system, its firmware version must match that of the other sensors, and its IP address must be
unique.
All sections referenced in the following procedure are found in Gocator 2300 & 2880 Series User
Manual.
To configure a Gocator 2375 for the first time:
1. Set up the sensor’s IP address.
a. Follow the steps in the Running a Standalone Sensor System section.
b. Make sure that there is no other sensor in the network with the IP address 192.168.1.10.
2. Upgrade the firmware.
a. Follow the steps in the Firmware Upgrade section.
b. Visit http://www.lmi3d.com/support/downloads/gocator-2375-for-road-rut-scanning to download
the latest firmware.

3. Set up profiling parameters.
a. Follow the steps in the Setup and Calibration section to set up profiling parameters. Typically,
trigger, active area, and exposure will need to be adjusted.

Gocator 2375 System Operation • 8
System Operation
An isolated layout should be used. Under this layout, each sensor can be independently controlled by
the SDK. The following application notes explain how to operate a multi-sensor system using the SDK.
APPNOTE_Gocator_4.x_Multi_Sensor_Guide.zip
Explains how to use the SDK to create a multi-sensor system, and multiplex their timing.
Gocator-2000-2300_appnote_multi-sensor-alignment-calibration.zip
Explains how to use the SDK to perform alignment calibration of a multi-sensor system.
Example code is included with both of the application notes above.
