Introduction
The Radar Navigation Utilities tool is a stand alone program, which will allow an engineer to access accelerometer, navigation and settings data from a radar and to upload and download navigation configuration. The tool can also be used to change radar range, gain, offset, threshold, bins, min bins, max peak and buffer mode settings.

Using the Radar Navigation Utility Tool
Please follow the steps to use the tool:
Download the RadarNavigationUtilities.exe tool from this page and save it to file.
Open a windows Terminal and change directory to the directory containing the RadarNavigationUtilities.exe.
Command Line Options
The CLI command line options are structured around verbs as an example:
This first verb has several options:
Use flag -i or --ipaddress to specify the Radar IP Address; the default is “192.168.0.1”.
Use flag -p or --port to select the Radar Port; the default is “6317”.
Use flag --version to show the version information.
Use flag -? or -h or --help to show help and usage information.
The second verb is one of the commands listed below:
Accelerometer Data
Get accelerometer information (radar mounting pitch and tilt values) - only for radars with internal accelerometer fitted.
RadarNavigationUtilities.exe -i 192.168.0.1 accelerometer

Options:
Use flag -b or --bins to specify the Bins to operate on; the default is “10”.
Use flag -m or --minbin to select the minimum bin to operate on; the default is “50”.
Use flag -t or --threshold to specify the threshold; the default is “0”.
Use flag -p or --maxpeaks to select the maximum peaks to find; the default is “10”.
Use flag -? or -h or --help to show help and usage information.
Set Buffer Mode
This will set the buffer mode.

Options:
Use Flag -m or --mode to specify the Buffer Mode, (Off, Average or Max); the default is “Off”.
Use Flag -l or --length to select the Buffer Length; the default is “10”.
Use Flag -? or -h or --help to show help and usage information.
Safeguard Alarm Data
This will retrieve navigation alarm data - the six alarm states from the SafeGuard system, if enabled.
RadarNavigationUtilities.exe -i 192.168.0.1 navalarmdata
Create Default Safeguard Configuration
This will create default navigation configuration in the file specified with -f.
RadarNavigationUtilities.exe -i 192.168.0.1 defaultconfig -f Configuration.json
Options:
Use flag -f or --file to specify the file configuration file to be created.
Use flag -? or -h or --help to show help and usage information.
