3.4.12 RSSI values
RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) is the measure of the signal strength that the
device receives. This value is calculated for every measurement. The device therefore
provides, for every echo signal, an associated RSSI value for the signal strength.
The value 0 (zero) means that the received energy was too low to produce a valid
measured value and also represents the lowest possible RSSI value. An RSSI value of
1 represents the highest possible measured value. A linear scaling is applied between
the values 0 and 1 using a resolution specific to the data format (see "Data formats",
page 25).
