Last Detection gives you an insight to the last radar measurement. This is what the radar “sees”.

Category Description
Distance to Object LTRDist and RTLDist setting
Object Size the length of all radar reflexions seen

Counters

Counters is a table with all Categories an left / right counter values. Values are updated regularely

Adjust your values

The main challenge with the TCR devices is to find a suitable Distance/Sensitivity Setting.

If the sensitivity is to high, the object might blur and therefore gets too big (Size value) If the distance is incorrect the size get too big too.

With Autotune enabled the Radar Sensitivity will be controlled automatically. It’s comparable to the automatic exposure setting at a photo camera.
