      Ensure that: * If VLAN is enabled, the PC's VLAN ID is the same as the lidar's; this can be checked using web control or PTC commands. * The PC's firewall is disabled, or PandarView 2 is added to the firewall exceptions. * The latest PandarView 2 is installed on the PC. After checking these, power on the lidar again and see if the problem continues.

      First, ensure that: * The Ethernet cable is properly connected (try unplugging and plugging it again). * The lidar's IP is in the same subnet as the PC's (use WireShark to check the lidar's IP that broadcasts data packets). * If VLAN is enabled, the PC's VLAN ID should match the lidar's; verify this using web control or PTC commands. If the issue persists: 1. Restart your PC or connect the lidar to a different PC. 2. Power cycle the lidar and check if the problem is resolved.

      Anna HamiltonAug 25, 2025
      Make sure that: * The Ethernet cable is properly connected (try unplugging and plugging it again). * The Destination IP and Azimuth FOV are correctly set, and the Firmware of Sensor Version is correct; confirm this using web control or PTC commands. * The lidar is emitting laser light; verify this using an infrared camera, an infrared sensor card, or a phone camera without an infrared filter. After these checks, power cycle the lidar and check if the issue persists.

    Why is the number of data packets received by Hesai Radar abnormal?
    • Z
      zmontoyaAug 27, 2025
      Check the following: * The Azimuth FOV is properly set; confirm this using either web control or PTC commands. * The Spin Rate is steady; confirm using web control, PandarView 2 or PTC commands or by checking the Motor Speed field in the Point Cloud Data Packet. * The lidar's internal temperature is between –20°C and 90°C; confirm using web control, PandarView 2 or PTC commands. * The Ethernet is not overloaded. * No switch is connected to the network (data transmitted from other devices may cause network congestion and packet loss). If problems persist: 1. Connect the PC to only the lidar and check for packet loss. 2. Power cycle the lidar and check if the symptom persists.

      Verify the following: * The lidar's cover lens is clean. * The lidar's angle correction file is imported. * The Azimuth FOV is properly set; confirm using web control or PTC commands. * The Spin Rate is steady; confirm using web control, PandarView 2 or PTC commands or by checking the Motor Speed field in the Point Cloud Data Packet. * The lidar's internal temperature is between –20°C and 95°C; confirm using web control, PandarView 2 or PTC commands. Next steps: 1. Check for packet loss. 2. If no packet is missing and the point cloud flashes, update PandarView 2 to the latest version, and then restart the PC. If the point cloud is still abnormal: 3. Connect the lidar to another PC and another network. 4. Power cycle the device and see if the issue persists.

    What to do if I can receive data on Wireshark but not on PandarView for Hesai Measuring Instruments?
    • A
      Andrew CollinsSep 4, 2025
      First, ensure the Lidar Destination Port is correctly set on the Settings page of web control. Then, check if your PC's firewall is disabled, or that PandarView is added to the firewall exceptions. If VLAN is enabled, verify the PC's VLAN ID matches the lidar's. Finally, make sure you have installed the latest PandarView version. Power the device on again to check if the issue persists.

      Michael BoydSep 6, 2025
      Ensure the Lidar's cover lens is clean; if not, clean it. Verify the Lidar's calibration file is imported. Check that the horizontal FOV is properly set on the Azimuth FOV page of web control and the motor's spin rate is steady on the Home page of web control. Confirm the Lidar's internal temperature is between -20° and 95° on the Operation Statistics page of web control. Check for packet loss. If the point cloud flashes, update PandarView to the latest version and restart the PC. If the point cloud is still abnormal, try connecting the lidar to another PC. Power cycle the device to see if the problem continues.
