Generating a Scanning Sequence File with Excel

Speos provides you with an Excel file to help you define the parameters of the emission pattern of the LiDAR and generate the *.OPTScanSequence / *.txt file to be used in the LiDAR Speos definition.

To generate the *.OPTScanSequence / *.txt:

Prerequisites: Make sure your regional settings use a "." as decimal separator and not a ",".
Prerequisites: Download the speos_Firing_Sequence_File_Examples.zip file.
  1. Open the LiDAR_scanning_sequence_generator.xlsm file.
  2. In File, define the path and name of the *.OPTScanSequence file to be generated.
  3. In Type of pulses, define the type of the pulse of the beams.
    The Type of pulses is applied to each beam defined as From pulses in the Pulse type definition.
  4. In Width of pulses (s), define the duration of one pulse.
  5. In the table, define the different parameters. Each line you add represents a beam.
  6. Click Generate.
A *.OPTScanSequence file has been generated and is ready to be used in a LiDAR sensor definition.
