3.4.7.6 Region of interest
The region of interest is an algorithm that uses various criteria to select relevant
measurement data that are set to a distance value and RSSI value of zero for further
processing. Angle values are retained.
3.4.7.6.1 Cubic area filter
When the cubic area filter is activated, it cuts out everything except for the parts of the
scan within an axis parallel cuboid. Note that this filter does not reduce the data, it sets
the data points outside the cuboid to zero.
The cuboid can be adjusted by setting the minimum and maximum values [mm] for the
X, Y and Z axis.
3.4.7.6.2 Distance filter
The distance filter affects the display of a spherical area around the device by limiting
the minimum and maximum radial distance that is measured.
The distance filter does not reduce the data, but sets the data points outside the radial
distance to zero.
To cut out a spherical area, set the min range to a specific radius [mm] for a very large
selected max range.
To keep a spherical area, set the max area to a specific radius [mm].
To keep a hollow sphere, set the min range and max range to a specific radius [mm]
and the min range to 0.
3.4.8 Measurement data output
3.4.8.1 Data formats
The device offers two data output formats: MSGPACK and Compact. Both data formats
allow the data to be output segment by segment via UDP.
Both data formats contain information such as device identification, serial number,
time stamp, and device status. While MSGPACK can be integrated easily using existing
libraries and is easy to parse, it requires more computing power and bandwidth than
the compact data format due to the descriptive names. Compact is significantly more
efficient and has a lower bandwidth. Compared to MSGPACK, however, the compact
data format is not descriptive and may require more integration effort.
NOTE
The structure of the two data formats is explained in the telegram listing. The telegram
listing can be found on the product page.
The call is made via the SICK Product ID: pid.sick.com/{P/N}/{S/N}
{P/N} corresponds to the part number of the product (see type label).
{S/N} corresponds to the serial number of the product (see type label).
3.4.8.2 Scan layer address
The actual position of a scan layer can vary. The exact actual vertical angle value of
each scan layer can be read from the device.
