Radar Navigation Utilities
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 or tracker 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:
The first verb is a choice of tracker or radar, this governs if the radar or the onboard tracker are to receive the command.
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 here is one of the commands listed below, in this case to set the Gain to 1.0 and the Offset to -0.345,
RadarNavigationUtilities.exe -i 192.168.0.1 setgainoffset -g 1.0 -o -0.345
