LeddarTM Sensor Evaluation Kit
LeddarTM Enabler Software Development Kit
Test the Power of LeddarTM
The Leddar™ Evaluation Kit can be integrated into any detection and
ranging system, enabling developers and integrators to make the
most of Leddar™ technology with unmatched flexibility thanks to its
compact size, low weight, ease of integration, low power consumption, and high reliability. Combining multiple independent active
elements, typically 16, into a single sensor, Leddar™ provides continuous, rapid and accurate detection and ranging — including lateral
discrimination — in the entire wide beam, without any moving parts.
The Leddar™ Enabler Software Development Kit (SDK) enables
developers and integrators to easily and rapidly integrate Leddar™
Technology into their systems. This software comes with the
following features:
- .NET and C libraries with application examples in C# and C
- LabVIEW integration example
- MATLAB integration example
- RS-485 Example code (Windows and Linux)

Discover LeddarTM Technology
Leddar™ (Light-Emitting Diode Detection and Ranging) is a unique
detection and ranging technology created by LeddarTech that
performs time-of-flight measurement using pulses from infrared LEDs.
The diffused light beam, processed through innovative algorithms,
allows for the detection of a wide range of objects under various
environmental conditions.
Tailored to Your Needs
Depending on your final application, patented LeddarTM Technology
can be easily delivered in various module forms. Different models and
optics options can be selected to best fit each application. Moreover,
numerous operating parameters can then be adjusted to further
optimize performance for particular uses.
LeddarTM Receiver Assembly
The Leddar™ receiver includes 16 independent segments with
simultaneous acquisition capabilities. As Leddar™ Technology is
offered in different formats, several beam options ranging from
9o to 95o are available. The example below refers to the evaluation kit
that comes with a 45o beam. As shown, the beam width and height
depend on the selected beam option.

LeddarTM Source and Control Assembly
The Leddar™ source and control assembly includes IR LED emitters with dominant wavelength of 940 nm and incorporates the
processing and I/O for the targeted applications. In addition, the beam of the source and control assembly is matched with the Leddar™
receiver assembly.
