Figure 11 shows the minimum diffuse reflection in percent compared to the distance that an obstacle needs to be detected. For these values the size of the obstacle has to be big enough and is a given fact in the diagram. T. Schwirten LANG AG 14.10.10 Page 7...

These diagrams should only provide an approximate idea of the object sizes that might be considered when integrating a radarTOUCH and are usually more pessimistic than the reality. In the end, only practical tests can deliver reliable answers. T. Schwirten LANG AG 14.10.10 Page 8...
(the longer 50mm screws belong to the top of the measurement device, this is where the cables are connected) (see also Figure 16). The mechanical adjustments require some practice but then it is possible to adjust it rather close to any surface (~2.0cm). T. Schwirten LANG AG 14.10.10 Page 9...

If both parameters are set to zero, the system uses the normal algorithm for detecting obstacles. If you choose to use them, the system uses a different algorithm that has its strengths performing some sort of a blob reduction. trackingSettings You should not change anything here! T.
