LINES 15 ... 19 
Lines 12 to 16 display the transmitter and receiver settings of the CL31. 
Transmitter Pulse Len 
= Pulse length, long in normal use (100 ns)
 Inlaser 
=  Controls the peak laser power 
 Pulse Cnt 
=  Pulse count, the number of pulses during 
a single measurement cycle, 16384 by 
default 
 Pulse Frq 
=  Laser pulsing frequency (10.0 kHz) 
 
 
Receiver Gain 
=  High by default, may be low in fog or 
heavy snow 
 Bandwidth 
=  Narrow by default 
 
Smpl Rate 
=  Receiver signal sampling rate, defines the 
vertical resolution of the measurement. 
Default is 15 MHz which corresponds to 
a 10 m resolution. 
 
21ST LINE 
Line 21 displays the window contamination status and outlaser settings 
of the CL31. The estimated transparency of 90 % to 100 % means that 
the window is clean. It is recommended that the window is cleaned 
whenever there is a window contamination warning, that is, the 
transparency is estimated as 70 % or lower. 
Outlaser is the laser pulse energy measured with CLM311 Laser Monitor 
Board. The value underneath the outlaser value (on line 17) refers to the 
percentage of the laser power relative to the factory setting. The 
embedded software will maintain this value between 95 % and 105 %. 
22ND LINE 
Line 22 displays the background radiance value of the CL31. The 
background radiance varies according to the background illuminance 
condition and temperature. The following values, outlaser percentage, is 
described above. 
24TH LINE 
Line 24 displays the tilt angle in degrees from vertical. Humidity 
measurement is visible if the option is activated. 
LINES 26 ... 29 
Lines 26 to 29 display temperature values in degrees centigrade. These 
values are used for the automatic control of the internal heaters and the 
blower, and for status monitoring.
