Introduction
1 Introduction
This document provides supplementary information for using Gocator 2075.
Reader should refer to Gocator user manual and quick start guide for descriptions and
safety precautions of Gocator. Cited sections from the User Manual are shown in italics.

Rut Scanning System Setup
2 Rut Scanning System Setup
2.1 Layout
The Gocator 2075 is designed to cover a scan width of up to 4.2m by using 8 sensors
mounted in parallel.
A Gocator 2075 for rut scanning should typically set the clearance distance (CD) to
800mm and measurement range (MR) to 625mm. With this combination, the FOV and
resolutions are:

FOV
430.39
758.34
X-Resolution
0.67
1.18
Z-Resolution
0.16
0.44
Users can use the specification estimator (Gocator-2075_Specification_Estimator.xlsx)
to calculate the X and Z resolution of the sensors with different combination of clearance
distance and measurement range.
2.2 System Setup
A typical Gocator 2075 system is setup as a multi-sensor system. The sensors are
powered up using a Master 400/800/1200/2400.

To wire up a Gocator 2075:
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.
Refer to the Master 400/800 and the Master 1200/2400 sections for more information on
how to install a Master.
2.3 Software Configuration
Each sensor is shipped with the default IP address of 192.168.1.10. Before putting a
sensor into a multi-sensor system, its firmware version must match with that of the other
sensors and its IP address must be unique.
To configure a Gocator 2075 for the first time:
1. Setup 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/product/gocator-2000-family/support/files/all to
download the latest firmware.
3. Setup profiling parameters.
a. Follow the steps in the Setup and Calibration chapter on how to setup
profiling parameters. Typically Trigger, Active Area and Exposure will
need to be adjusted.

System Operation
3 System Operation
The 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.
Gocator-2000-2300_Appnote_Multi-Sensor-System_R1.0.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_R1.0.zip
Explains how to use the SDK to perform alignment calibrate a multi-sensor system.
Example code is included with both of the above application notes.
