The Leddar® M16 Sensor Module is an advanced sensing solution that combines 16 independent active elements into a single sensor, resulting in rapid, continuous and accurate detection and ranging — including lateral discrimination — in the entire wide beam, without any moving parts. The Leddar M16 can be easily integrated to add sensing intelligence to almost any application, enabling developers and integrators to make the most of this cutting-edge technology while providing unmatched flexibility. Features • 16 independent segments with simultaneous acquisition and lateral discrimination capabilities • 9o to 95o beam options, for optimized field of view • 0 to 100 meter detection range (325 ft.) Receiver Assembly The Leddar receiver includes 16 independent segments with simultaneous acquisition capabilities. Several beam options are available, ranging from 9° to 95° (see back page). The beam width and height depend on the selected beam option. • Rapid data acquisition time up to 50 Hz Source and Control Assembly Benefits The Leddar source and control assembly includes IR LED emitters with a dominant wavelength of 940 nm and incorporates the processing and I/O for the targeted applications. The source and control assembly beam matches the receiver assembly. • Proven reliability, even in harsh conditions • Immune to ambient light • No moving parts, for ultimate robustness • Easy to integrate, includes Leddar Enabler SDK • Low power consumption • Best cost/performance ratio Leddar Configurator Main Window Raw Detections Dialog Box Interfaces A 3.81 mm x 8 pin male header is provided for interfacing through a cable harness or terminal block. A USB “Mini-B” connector is also provided for use with the Leddar® Software Development Kit, and a 2 x 20, 0.050” header is provided for custom expansion. Please contact the factory for specific interface requirements. Software Development Kit (SDK) The Leddar Enabler SDK provides a user-friendly application programming interface (API) with .Net and C libraries and code examples. Sample code for RS-485/MODBUS for both Windows and Linux, as well as LabVIEW and MATLAB integration examples, are also provided.
