Introduction

This manual describes the specifications, installation, and data output format of Pandar40P.

Operating Principle

Distance Measurement: Time of Flight (ToF)

  1. A laser diode emits a beam of ultrashort laser pulses onto the target object.
  2. The laser pulses are reflected after hitting the target object. The returning beam is detected by an optical sensor.
  3. Distance to the object can be accurately measured by calculating the time between laser emission and receipt.
    | d: distance
    c: speed of light
    t: travel time of the laser beam
    ---|---

Figure 1.1 Distance Measurement Using Time of Flight

LiDAR Structure

40 pairs of laser emitters and receivers are attached to a motor that rotates horizontally.

Figure 1.2 Partial Cross-Sectional Diagram| Figure 1.3 Coordinate System (Isometric View)| Figure 1.4 Rotation Direction (Top View)
---|---|---

The LiDAR’s coordinate system is illustrated in Figure 1.3. Z-axis is the axis of rotation.
The origin is shown as a red dot in Figure 1.6 on the next page. All measurements are relative to the origin.
Each laser channel has an intrinsic horizontal angle offset. When Channel 12 passes the zero-degree position in Figure 1.4, the azimuth data in the corresponding UDP data block will be 0°.

Channel Distribution

The vertical resolution is

  • 0.33° between Channel 6 and Channel 30
  • 1° between Channel 5 and Channel 6, Channel 30 and Channel 38
  • not evenly distributed in the remaining channels, as detailed in Appendix I

Each channel has an intrinsic angle offset, both horizontally and vertically. The offsetted angles are recorded in this LiDAR unit’s angle correction file, which is provided when shipping the unit.
In case you need to obtain the file again:

  • Send this PTC command PTC_COMMAND_GET_LIDAR_CALIBRATION, as described in Hesai TCP API Protocol (Chapter 5).
  • Or export the file using Pandar View, see the Pandar View user manual.
  • Or contact a sales representative or technical support engineer from Hesai.

Point Cloud Data Analysis
The analysis of point cloud UDP data consists of three steps.

Analyze the vertical angle, horizontal angle, and distance of a data point

Take Channel 5 in Block 3 as an example:

  1. Vertical angle of Channel 5 is 3.00°, according to Appendix I (Channel Distribution)
    The accurate vertical angle is recorded in this LiDAR’s unit’s angle correction file, see Section 1.3 (Channel Distribution).
    • 0° represents the horizontal direction
    • Define upward as positive
    • The Channel # counts from 1 from the uppermost

  2. Horizontal angle = current reference angle of the rotor + horizontal angle offset + firing time angular offset
    • Current reference angle of the rotor is the Azimuth field of Block 2
    • Horizontal angle offset: -1.042° for Channel 5, according to Appendix I (Channel Distribution)
    The accurate horizontal angle offset is recorded in this LiDAR’s unit’s angle correction file, see Section 1.3 (Channel Distribution).
    Firing time angular offset = Firing Time Offset of Channel 5 (see Appendix II)

  • Spin Rate of the Motor (see Section 4.1 Web Control – Home)
    • Define clockwise in the top view as positive

    1. Actual distance in real world millimeters = distance measurement * Distance Unit (4 mm)
      Distance measurement is the Distance field of Channel 5 in Block 3

Obtain the real-time point cloud data by analyzing and drawing every data point in a frame

GPS Data Packet

GPS Data Packets are triggered every second.

Before NMEA messages are available from the external GPS module
Each rising edge of the LiDAR’s internal 1 Hz signal triggers a GPS Data Packet. The time and date in the GPS Data Packets are unreal, starting from the UTC time 00 01 01 00 00 00 (year, month, day, hour, minute, second) and increasing with the internal 1 Hz signal.

Once the LiDAR receives the PPS (pulse-per-second) signal and NMEA messages
The internal 1 Hz signal will be locked to the PPS. Each rising edge still triggers a GPS Data Packet. Meanwhile, the LiDAR will extract the actual date and time from NMEA messages ($GPRMC or $GPGGA), and stamp them into both Point Cloud Data Packets and GPS Data Packets.

  • Point Cloud Data Packets: 6-byte Date & Time (year, month, day, hour, minute, second)
  • GPS Data Packets: 6-byte Date (year, month, day) and 6-byte Time (second, minute, hour)

The GPS module sends first the PPS signal and then the NMEA message. At the rising edge of the PPS pulse, the corresponding NMEA message is not yet available. Therefore, the LiDAR extracts date and time from the previous NMEA message and automatically adds 1 full second.

When GPS signal is lost
The LiDAR will still trigger GPS Data Packets by the rising edge of the internal 1 Hz signal. However, the GPS time in the packets will be counted by the internal 1 Hz signal and will drift from the actual GPS time.

Azimuth FOV

For Azimuth FOV Setting, users can select one of the three modes.

For all channels
A continuous angle range, specified by a Start Angle and an End Angle, will be applied to all channels.
The LiDAR outputs valid data only within the specified range.

For each channel
Users can configure one continuous angle range for each channel.
Each channel outputs valid data only within its specified range.

The “Status” button for each channel is gray by default, indicating that the angle range is [0°, 360°].
To activate the angle range configuration for each channel, click the corresponding button to make it green.

Click the “Enable/Disable All” button to activate/deactivate the angle range configuration for all channels.

Multi-section FOV
Users can configure up to ten continuous angle ranges (i.e. sections) for each channel.
Each channel outputs valid data only within its specified ranges.

The “Status” button for each channel is gray by default, indicating that the angle range is [0°, 360°].
To activate the angle range configuration for each channel, click the corresponding button to make it green.

Click the “Enable/Disable All” button to activate/deactivate the angle range configuration for all channels.

Note

  • Click “Save” to apply your settings.
  • The angles in degrees are accurate to the first decimal place.
  • If the Start Angle is larger than the End Angle, then the actual azimuth FOV is the union of [Start Angle, 360°] and [0°, End Angle].

For instance, when the angle range is set to be [270°, 90°], the actual azimuth FOV is [270°, 360°][0°, 90°].

Appendix II Absolute Time and Laser Firing Time

Absolute Time of Point Cloud Data Packets
The absolute time of a Point Cloud Data Packet is the sum of date, time (accurate to the second) and s time.

  • Date and Time can be retrieved either from the current Point Cloud Data Packet (6 bytes of Date & Time), or from the previous GPS Data Packet (6 bytes of Date and 6 bytes of Time).
  • μs time can be retrieved from the current Point Cloud Data Packet (4 bytes of Timestamp)

When using a PTP clock source, the LiDAR does not output GPS Data Packets.

End Time of Each
Block The Body of each Point Cloud Data Packet contains 10 data blocks, as detailed in Section 3.1.2 (Point Cloud UDP Data).

Every time the LiDAR sends a command to trigger a round of firing, the measurements are:

  • stored in one block in Single Return mode
  • stored in two adjacent blocks in Dual Return mode

If the absolute time of a Point Cloud Data Packet is t0, the end time of each block (the time when all the lasers finish firing) can be calculated.

Single Return Mode| Block| End Time (μs)| | Dual Return Mode| Block| End Time (μs)
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Block 10| t0 – 28.58| | Block 10 & Block 9| t0 – 28.58
Block N| t0 – 28.58 – 55.56 (10 – N)| | Block 8 & Block 7| t0 – 28.58 – 55.56 1
Block 3| t0 – 28.58 – 55.56 7| | Block 6 & Block 5| t0 – 28.58 – 55.56 2
Block 2| t0 – 28.58 – 55.56 8| | Block 4 & Block 3| t0 – 28.58 – 55.56 3
Block 1| t0 – 28.58 – 55.56 9| | Block 2 & Block 1| t0 – 28.58 – 55.56 4

Firing Time Offset of Each Channel
Assume that the start time of Block m is T(m), m {1, 2, …, 10}, then the laser firing time of Channel n in Block m is t(m, n) = T(m) + t(n), n {1, 2, …, 40}. The lookup table of the firing time offsets t(n) is shown below.

Firing Sequence| Channel #| At(n) (us)| Firing Sequence| Channel #| At(n) (ps)

Appendix III PTP Protocol

The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used to synchronize clocks across a computer network. It can achieve sub-microsecond clock accuracy.

LiDAR Connection When Using PTP

Absolute Packing Time When Using PTP
To use PTP as the clock source, connect a third-party PTP master device to get the absolute time.

Notes

  • PTP master is a third-party device and is not included with the LiDAR.
  • The LiDAR works as a PTP slave device and the PTP protocol is Plug&Play.
  • When using a PTP clock source, the LiDAR does not output GPS Data Packets.
  • The timestamps and Date & Time fields in Point Cloud Data Packets strictly follow the PTP master device. Certain PTP master devices may have a specified offset from the Date & Time output by the LiDAR. Please verify the configuration and calibration of your PTP master device.
  • If a PTP clock source is selected but no PTP master device is available, the LiDAR will count the time from an invalid past time. If a PTP clock source is supplied and later stopped, the LiDAR will continue to count the time with an internal clock.

Appendix IV Phoenix Contact

Phoenix Contact can be used as the LiDAR’s communication connector, in place of the default Lemo Contact in Section 2.2 (Interfaces).
