10.2.8 Configure scanning frequency, angular resolution and scan area
Configures the LMS by means of the exact definition of scanning frequency, angular
resolution and starting/stopping angle. The LMS calculates the technically possible values
based on these parameters and supplies the parameters actually used in the response as
result.
Important The required user level is “Authorised client” (see section 10.2.7 “Select user level/login”
on page 87).
