3.2 - Setting the service date and checking vital signs
Introduction
The CTS350-X radar sensor has a built in web interface (known as Vertex) which provides default user level access to the radar. This means you can view information but no changes can be made. There is a useful summary of key radar setup and diagnostic information – e.g. IP address, serial number, system uptime and radar health (temperature and rotation).
This page provides links to the main Vertex documentation.
