The sensor has a RS232 or RS485 interface (depending on sensor-type). An iSYS-4001 with RS232 interface can be
connected directly to the COM port of the PC otherwise there can be a RS232 to USB adapter used. The Adapter installs
a virtual COM port which can be selected in the GUI.

from the Sensor. The red lamp in the connection window
set baud rate to 115000
switches to green if successfull.
click to connect
4. „Live Stream“
A click on „Start Live Stream“ starts displaying the live data in
the opened tab.
4.1 Freeze/Run
For an improved analysis of the sensor data, the display can be
frozen by clicking on “Freeze…”. To enable the live data again
click on “Run…” .
4.2. Write all Params tp EEProm
This command writes all data into the EEPROM. This command
is mandatory after setting all your parameters, otherwise all
configurations made are lost. click to start „Live View“
5. „Save“ - „Load“ configuration Short Range.ipf
To configure more than one sensor with the same settings all output1 approaching & receding

By clicking on “File” => “Save configuration to file” the actual active low, if NO object exist
parameters will be saved in an *.ipf file. output 3 approaching
active high, if object exist
5.2. Load configuration from file active low, if NO object exist
By clicking on “File” => “Load configuration from file” parameter rising delay 375ms

6. frequency channels
To avoid interferences if two sensors are mounted close to each
other 2 different frequency channels can be selected.
• click „Config“
• select „use channel 1“ or „use channel 2“ for using the
sensor in Europe
• select „use channel 3“ or „use channel 4“ for using the
sensor in the US
Channel 1 is corresponding to a transmit frequency of 24.190GHz
Channel 2 is corresponding to a transmit frequency of 24.210GHz
Channel 3 is corresponding to a transmit frequency of 24.155GHz
Channel 4 is corresponding to a transmit frequency of 24.135GHz
7. option „Raw Signal“
The Option „Raw Signals“ can be used to view the analog
received signals.
The raw signals tab shows the signal raw data which sampled by
the analog to digital converter. Alternatively the user can switch
to the FFT signal (Tab “Detection”). The FFT and threshold are
calculated by the sensor.
8. tab „Detection“
This tab shows the FFT and the threshold calculated by the radar
sensor.
The threshold consists of three parts:
• adaptive value, height of the threshold depending on the
noise level
• low-pass filter, for the frequency selection of the different
objects
• user defined threshold value, will be added to the threshold
8.1. User defined threshold
Changing this value, allow the user to set the sensitivity of
the detection. There can be set the height of the threshold by
adjusting the slider or by setting the level in dB (function is only
available if „Live View“ is stoped).
8.2. Linefilter
By activating the Line Filters several frequencies can be
cancelled. This can be used for example to prevent interference
from fluorescent lamps.

9. automatic amplification
An automatic amplification can be activated in „Config“ =>
„Amplification“.
If the radar signals does not exceed the inner threshold (orange
area), the signal will be increased.
If the radar signal exceeds the inner threshold, but does not
exceed the outer threshold (green area), nothing happens to the
signal amplification (signal is inside hysteresis).
If the radar signal exceeds the outer thershold, the signal
amplification will be decreased.
10. output signals 1-3
The iSYS-4001 offers 3 output signals that can be activated and
configured indepentendly of each other.
The tabs “Output 1”, “Output 2” and “Output 3” shows the
different target lists. Each target list has separate filter parameters
which can be changed in the specific output tab.
During a live stream a coloured button shows the actual status
of the detected object:
• Green – object is receding
• Red – object is approaching
• Orange – no object detected
The output can configured by the „Filter Type“ Drop-Down menu.
Possible settings are:
• inactive (no targets)
• none (show all targets)
• highest Amplitude
• mean Value (range)
• median Value (range)
• mean Value (velocity)
• median Value (velocity)
The selection of the wanted option has a direct influence to the
signals in the GUI as well as on the Output Configuration.
Show Histogram
By activating the Histogram option you can follow the time
dependent trend of changes in speed and range of the object(s).

11. target filter options
The target filter options declare the velocity-, range- and signal-
area within the sensor is able to detect objects. Velocity has an
additional option to set the sign of the velocity to detect only
receeding or approaching objects.
The filters can be set in the following range:
Speed range: 0....250km/h
Distance range 1: 0....50m
Distance range 2: 0....150m
Signal Level: 0....250dB
12. output configuration
To configure the output signals go to menu „iSYS“ => „Output
Configuration“
The output PINs can be activated and configured seperately
from each other.
Possible setting of output type are:
• digital
• pwm (velocity)
• pwm (range)
In case of „pwm“ a pulse-width modulated signal will be send
to the output PINs corresponding to the speed or range of the
objects (depending on which option is selected)
Output PIN configuration:
configuration description target detected output pin state
active low - normally open low side switch no high impedance
active low - normally open low side switch yes connected to GND
active low - normally closed low side switch no connected to GND
active low - normally closed low side switch yes high impedance
active high - normally open high side switch no high impedance
active high - normally open high side switch yes connected to VCC
active high - normally closed high side switch no connected to VCC
active high - normally closed high side switch yes high impednace
totem pole - normally open push-pull no connected to GND
totem pole - normally open push-pull yes connected to VCC
totem pole - normally closed push-pull no connected to VCC
totem pole - normally closed push-pull yes connected to GND

13. manual amplification
The iSYS-4001 sensor features a variable IF amplification with an
8 Bit digital potentiometer. For changing the amplification, open
the slider window in the “Config” menu under “Amplification”.
The button “Store” stores all actual set parameters including the
amplification into the devices EEPROM.
The figures beside are showing the amplification for the different
potentiometer positions.
14. angle correction
The iSYS-4001 radar sensor features an angle correction
depending on the mounting of the sensor. The correction for the
elevation position can be set by mounting angle or by mounting
height.
• Correction with angle: In this case the system assumes iSYS-4001
that the detected object is measured in the main beam
direction. The correction is calculated with the cosine of the measured range to object
angle α. This angle is also called the mounting angle of the
mounting
sensor. height
α
• Correction with height: In this case the system calculates direction of moving object
the angle α for the correction with the measured range of
the detected object and the given mounting height. The
correction is calculated with the cosine of the angle α. This
angle is also called the mounting angle of the sensor.
